Sainsbury's store stalled by Greenwich Council as Tesco opens
Odd goings-on at a meeting of Greenwich Council last night. It should have been an important night if you live in the riverside part of Charlton, as a long-standing application to build a new Sainsbury's store on Woolwich Road, on the site of the old Wickes branch, was to have been have been approved or rejected.
In short, Sainsbury's has run out of space in its Greenwich store, and would like to open a new store half a mile down the road, to the same environmental principles as its 13-year-old current branch.
Marks & Spencer would take up space in the building too, and developer LXB – which has bought up much of the Charlton retail space – has spent a lot of time wooing local residents' groups and pledging that it'll bring a bit of life back to the Woolwich Road.
The planning application was submitted in May, and these things are meant to take 13 weeks to come to a decision. In "Royal" Greenwich, this actually took until the penultimate day of November to be scheduled for a decision.
But that wasn't enough. Four days after Woolwich's new mega-Tesco opened, on the night of the meeting, Greenwich Council's planning board decided to delay the Sainsbury's application even further. But why?
Apparently, a site visit was needed. Even though this is a prominent site, sat between two A-roads, and a visit could have been arranged at any time within the past five months. Also, a "retail impact assessment" was required – but why couldn't have been done in the five months it took this application to come before the planning board? After all, it's 13 months since a councillor voiced reservations on he effect this would have on Woolwich.
All of this came as a surprise to the council's planning officers, but it was to no avail – Sainsbury's application, submitted in May, was booted well into the long grass.
How did this happen? Well, there was an exchange of scribbled notes, which started with regeneration cabinet member Denise Hyland (of foot tunnels fame), and involved council leader Chris Roberts, planning director Steve Pallett and planning chair Ray Walker. And then, mysteriously, the item was struck off the agenda.
Incidentally, across the road from Woolwich Town Hall, and a couple of miles from the Sainsbury's site, a new mega-Tesco has just opened. Tesco built the council's new HQ as part of the deal, and council leader Chris Roberts has spoken warmly about the job opportunities the new store has brought.
Wisely, though, as a member of the planning board, Chris Roberts didn't appear in the photos marking the store's opening on Monday – leaving that to mayor David Grant, MP Nick Raynsford and Abbey Wood-based Olympian Zoe Smith, with a cheque from Tesco to the council's charity.
But despite his endorsements of Tesco in Woolwich, he was still able to take part in an exchange of notes which resulted in a planning decision about a rival's store being deferred for a "retail impact assessment". (Even though one had already been done – see below.)
So, what on earth is going on? Local campaigners in Charlton want to use the Sainsbury's scheme (and the long-delayed Travelodge, also backed by LXB) as leverage to make the Woolwich Road less of a filthy rat-run and more of a pleasant place to live.
Yet despite months of prevarication, Greenwich Council has kicked it into the long grass, just as a rival's store opens. What is going on in a council run by a party which, on a national level, brands Tesco "an almighty conglomerate"?
11.45am update: It's been pointed out to me that a retail impact assessment had already been done – it's two documents in this enormous bundle here. Council officers, meanwhile, had been working under the belief that the issue would be discussed last night. What is going on?

Errrm, Tescopoly…?
Could it be corruption?
Could Sainsburys not take over next-door Comet, which has gone under and is closing? Better site, stay put, on all major bus routes to North Greenwich? Otherwise what's happening to that big retail area on Bugsbys Way?
Getting into bed with those who rule local govt kingdoms, by helping to fund local infrastructure, is part of the game for the big supermarkets. Tesco probably just got in first.
There may be legitimate reasons for the proposal being deferred last night. I turned up as other members did to find that the matter was off the agenda. Apologies to those residents who gave up their time to attend. I have written to Officers this morning objecting to the way his was done. This application has been around for five months. The Council is committed to the regeneration of the Borough which is clearly set out in the Masterplans which will help local jobs.
http://www.royalgreenwich.gov.uk/press/article/168/christmas_countdown_in_royal_greenwich – anyone turn up for Tesco's generously sponsored drink?
I don't believe that anyone in Greenwich Council is corrupt. And I'd be surprised if the Council is deliberately planning to do down Sainsburys to benefit Tesco when it wants Sainsburys to enlarge its store in Eltham. Last night's note passing sounds more like cock-up than conspiracy.
What's certainly true is that Greenwich Council wants as much land as possible to the north of Woolwich Rd to become available for housing – much to the approval of Berkeley Homes. The result is that the Royal Dormitory is projected to be the only London Borough simultaneously in the top category for population growth and the bottom category for job creation
As a resident of Carlton living directly opposite the proposed Travel Lodge site I was keen to attend the public meeting. However finding out on arrival that the item was shelved was completely unacceptable. How do actions of this nature occur and why would they happen? When the self interest of certain individuals within the council overrides what should be a fair and democratic process across all of Greenwich. It occurs when these individuals are honouring a back handed deal with a large supermarket, that's when! This is straight out of Private Eye. PS. I want the money I wasted paying for childcare last night.
I still think that Greenwich are far too close to the likes of Tesco. The LXB site is already a retail site and Planning Officer's proposed approval and I personally do not see reasons for refusal or delaying the decision given that the Tesco decision sets a precedent anyway and that the M and S and Sainsbury's stores are actually likely to generate more jobs albeit minimum wage than are likely to be lost within the borough. It is a big concern that the council seem more interested in creating more homes without either the infrastructure, e.g schools, and jobs to benefit the additional population growth which is simply madness. Not impressed with Greenwich council.
If the good burghers of Greenwich keep voting in these wonderful Labour councillors why complain? The people have spoken over the last 70 years and they keep speaking so accept it. This is what everyone wants. Post 2014 the whole council will be virtually all Labour (you heard it here first!) so it will be even better. Thank God those vile Liberals, pathetic Greens and destructive Tories have nothing to do with Greenwich. More Labour please!!!!!! No opposition!!!! No ridiculous democracy!!! No discussion!!! No debate!!!
Combining the Comet unit with the existing store is a superb idea. That footpath in between the buildings is all but redundant and only goes to the back of the units, so that could be built over with minimal fuss.
I can't see LXB retail developments giving up the fight to build at this location. I think the council need to be really careful. LXB took on Tunbridge Wells council and won when they refused or delayed the development and got substantial compensation for maladministration. The same can easily happen here. As the site is zoned retail they have no grounds for refusal. The council could extract some additional funding for traffic calming improvements to Woolwich Road but LXB will build the stores. Sainsbury's will not be interested in the Comet site as they need to compete head on with Tesco Extra's store and their new store will also be an online store for South East London internet deliveries so it's more than just retail jobs. Likewise, M and S have an additional demand for a larger store to serve Charlton, Greenwich and Woolwich that the current stores do not cater for. My money is on LXB taking the matter to the Planning Inspectorate if a decision isn't made soon and here is hoping they do.
For something that is quite obviously going to have a big impact on our local community, there has been shocking dithering and lack of publicity for this. People are still surprised when I say what the Wickes land is for — the response always being, "what's wrong with the other sainsbury's."
They still haven't got the traffic plans sorted is my guess. They have rephased the traffic lkights leading onto Woolwich Road from Charlton Churh Lane, leading to queues, queue jumping illegal (and dangerous use) of the bus lane to turn onto Woolwich Road
Why were the lights rephased? An experiment to see what happens when the store opens? Well its already causing confusin, anger and dangerous driving, It wont be long before fatal.
Planning Applications for something of this size and impact never take the time that they should… weeks and indeed months longer are commonplace. Sudden last minute changes of mind also common, it has happened to me.
The RIA might have been out of date – and the opening of Tesco (the letting or otherwise of the other units in that development) may or may not have been factored in, the reconfiguration of General Gordon Square may or may not have been factored in, and even the closing of Comet has to be taken account of.
Building the new Council offices 'as part of the deal' is not seedy or shady but very commonplace and known in Planning parlance as a Section 106 agreement, if it is transport and traffic they want sorted then they get a Section 278 agreement.
As for Supermarkets blocking each other. A matter of months is nothing. Where I grew up Sainsbury held the monopoly for over 20 years; several derelict sites were supposed to get supermarkets but to this day stand vacant. Eventually another store, Waitrose, got a foot in but that is it – for miles.
The assumption that there must be 'something rotten in the Borough' may or may not be true – but as somebody who has been/is involved in a half dozen supermarket schemes, these things never have easy or quick births!
[…] the supermarket giant's planned new store on Woolwich Road, the planning process for which was held up in mysterious circumstances a couple of weeks […]
All very frustrating when to my mind the local population are crying out for the rescue of a derelict site and corresponding transport improvements. Whilst you would hope the councillors are working in everyone's interests to achieve these goals they really do help the conspiracy theorists with unexplained and random changes in direction. A bit of transparency please!
I think its fine, LXB can build whatever they want wherever they want, but it has to go through the correct planning procedures and correspond with the Charlton Riverside plan.
What I want to see is proper transport links. Revive the Riverside Transit scheme and ensure there are dedicated cycle lanes and pedestrian links built into all new developments. It's imperative the council holds developers to account for these quality of life enhancements.
I ended-up reading the Retail Impact Assessment document and I thought it was packed fascinating information about the major retail topography in Greenwich. The Woolwich Sainsbury's was overtrading by huge 140% (I suspect the demise of Somerfield may have contributed to this), obviously it'll be lower now that Tesco Extra has arrived. When you factor in the new homes being built in the area I can clearly see the rationale for its development.
If I'm reading the RIA right, at 13,000 square metres the proposed new Sainsbury's in Charlton will be more than twice the size of the current Greenwich store and will be significantly bigger than ASDA Charlton and Tesco Extra Woolwich!
The ASDA Charlton apparently overtrades by 200% so I would imagine Sainbury's are looking to capture a share of that.

To evaluate two educational programs that promoted the role of pediatric practices in lowering LDL cholesterol levels in 4-10 year old hypercholesterolemic children through dietary modification.
Cardiovascular Diseases
Heart Diseases
Coronary Heart Disease Risk Reduction
|Study Type:
|Study Start Date:
|April 1990
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|March 1993
Outcomes of the study provided valuable guidance for pediatricians who wanted to become more actively involved in identifying and treating children with elevated blood lipids.
Pediatricians in five practices in Abington, Pennsylvania conducted a cholesterol screening program (capillary bloodsample) for 4-10 year old children in their care. Children who tested positive (total cholesterol >176 mg/dl) were offered follow-up evaluations (two fasting venous blood samples) to confirm the positive initial test. Those with mean LDL cholesterol levels between the 80th and 98th percentiles for age/sex (107-164 mg/dl for boys and 112-164 mg/dl for girls) and who met other entry criteria were invited to join the study. Children with parental permission to participate were randomized to one of three groups: two that received dietary education, and a comparison group that received no dietary education. One educational program used face-to-face counseling with a registered dietitian and the other used a home-based, parent-child autotutorial approach. In addition, a random sample of non-hypercholesterolemic children with total plasma cholesterol levels between the 40th and 60th percentiles for age/sex were invited to join the study as a second comparison group. Prior to the education period (baseline) and three times thereafter (3, 6 and 12 months post-baseline), all four groups were assessed for consumption of total fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol, and their growth and pertinent cognitive psychosocial factors. Also, the plasma LDL cholesterol levels of the three hypercholesterolemic groups were assessed at all four time points along with blood indicators of iron status at baseline and twelve months.
To assess the educational programs' effectiveness, changes were compared in assessed variables of the hypercholesterolemic groups who did and did not receive dietary education. Also, changes in diet, growth, and cognitive/psychosocial factors in these groups were compared with those of the non-hypercholesterolemic group that had neither a positive diagnosis of elevated blood lipids nor dietary education. Additionally, the cost-effectiveness of the two dietary education programs was evaluated.

Rumor has it that Jackie's on Corey (338 Corey Avenue) could soon have some pretty cool street-side seating... the city commission voted on this issue after press time, so be sure and check theGabber.com for an update. On Saturday, September 13, head to the Tradewinds Guy Harvey resort for the Rays "Watch Party"– they'll take on the Minnesota Twins at 8:10, so come early for a great seat. The next day head to Corey Avenue for its car and truck show. Gecko Season might end this weekend, but that doesn't mean Gulfport's not a hip place to visit: Mangia (2930 Beach Boulevard) will soon have Reggae Sundays and rumor has it that the Historical Society (5301 28th Avenue South) is planning a dinner under the stars in October, and the Industrial Arts Center will make a move out of the Art Village Courtyard and back into Artist's Alley (across the avenue from the current location). The new Philanthropy gift shop in the Art Village Courtyard takes over Castaways old spot. On the Gulfport Community Co-op page, one local woman has made inquiries about starting a random acts of kindness group, so watch out for a silent army looking to pay things forward...On our "still shuttered" list: The Peninsula's food and beverage side, The Village Pub building and the Beach Theatre. Rumors abound that someone wants to open a school at the Peninsula, but so far there's nothing to substantiate that.

Aside from Mommy Knows Best and Crazy Mommy Monday, another series I have at my blog is to post a recipe each Sunday.
On Friday, I watched an episode of The Doctors while I was home for break. According to them, if I eat less and make better choices concerning food – I will lose weight. Who knew!
As I sat there in awe of this revelation, barely able to pay attention to the next segment, something else caught my eye. They started talking about foods that are negative calories. Yes, NEGATIVE. Not add another pound on and go one size up in jeans with every bite you take. This is a food that requires more calories to digest it than it provides. Amazing.
A few of these so-called freebies are cucumber, asparagus, broccoli and celery. (If you know of any others, let me know – I've started a list)
Since I love asparagus, I thought I'd share a recipe on how to prepare this weight loss food of the Gods.
Obviously, by adding all of these ingredients, I'm probably not going to get the negative calorie aspect anymore. I'm alright with that. Sort of.
What You'll Need:
1 Bunch of Asparagus
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Balsamic Vinegar (I use thicker balsamic vinegar)
Shredded Parmesan CheeseSalt & Pepper
Directions:Preheat the oven to 425. Wash & cut the asparagus. (Trick to cutting off the bottom of asparagus: Take one stalk and bend it so the end breaks off. Use that as your mark on where to cut the rest). On a half sheet (I cover mine in foil for easy clean up) spread out the asparagus. Drizzle with olive oil & balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle on salt & pepper. Mix it all together with your hands. Flatten out the stalks to a single layer on the sheet. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Bake for about 15-20 minutes. Serve on a platter with balsamic vinegar in a dipping cup on the side.

The devil is real, and we all know him
It is Halloween, the day when the dead walk and the devil rides.
We're plagued by children who are risking diabetes, if not their immortal souls, by demanding the sort of sweets you only give to kids you hate. The Christians down the road, not realizing, as Luther did, that the devil can't bear to be mocked, are holding a 'light party' in protest against the trick-and- treaters.
And, between door-bell rings and dispensings of deadly substances to skeletons, I'm reflecting on a talk I recently heard by Rebecca Newberger Goldstein. It was on her wonderful book, Plato in the Googleplex. In the book, Plato wanders through modern America, watching, talking, bemused, amused, dismayed, misunderstood. It's an audit of Platonism. How has it weathered? Continue reading
Book review: 'Moral Tribes' by Joshua Greene
The dictator Joseph Stalin reputedly once said that "The death of one person is a tragedy; the death of one million is a statistic." Behind this chilling remark lies an important insight into human moral psychology. Our moral intuitions are myopic. For instance, we are repelled by the idea of causing others direct physical harm, while it is psychologically much easier to inflict the same, or greater, amounts of harm in non-direct ways. (Think of controlling a drone, as opposed to stabbing someone at close range.) Continue reading
Private Lives, Dying Wishes, and Technological Development
Recently in Portsmouth, a statue of Charles Dickens has been unveiled. While not terribly notable in itself this event is of some interest as it ignores the last wishes of the author it is meant to honour [1].
The problem, in my view, is that this is just one of many cases in which a public figure—authors appear especially vulnerable—has been denied the fulfilment of his or her express wishes regarding post-mortem handling of his or her estate or image. Continue reading
Get your nasty Platonic hands off my kids, Mr. Gove
My book of the year, by a very wide margin, is Jay Griffiths' splendid 'Kith: The Riddle of the Childscape' (Hamish Hamilton, 2013). Amongst her many virtues is a loathing of Plato's Republic. Here she is, in typically swashbuckling style:
'Excessive laughter is banned and so is the liquid superfluity of metaphor. Plato would rid his ideal state of anything that could arouse emotion, mischief, wildness or fun….so ghastly is his Republic that it could be interpreted as satire. But, generally, its ambition has been taken with deadly seriousness as a founding text on the education of boys. The purpose of The Republic is to school its youth to be good soldiers engaged in unending war to take the resources of neighbouring lands. It is a handbook for the education of imperialists.
Brick by brick, Plato builds the walls of his citadel of control, hierarchy and obedience. His ideal republic is obsessed with rule – not only the rule of command, but the rule of measurement… the heart of his vision [is] that Apollo, god of measure, metre, civilisation and, surely, god of metronomes, should keep Dionysus, god of the Romantic movement, god of wildness and nature, firmly under his thumb.' 1
Familiar? It should be – at least to UK readers. It's the policy of Michael Gove and his rightly vilified Department. They want to produce a generation of nerdish measurers – people who wield rulers rather than wands, and who write in Excel rather than blank verse.
Breaking the mould: genetics and education
Tonight I participated in BBC's "The Moral Maze", discussing the recent reactions to a report by Dominic Cummings, an advisor to the education secretary, that mentioned that genetic factors have a big impact on educational outcomes. This ties in with the recent book G is for Genes by Kathryn Asbury (also on the program) and Robert Plomin where they argue that children are not blank slates and that genetic information might enable personalized education. Ah, children, genetics, IQ, schools – the perfect mixture for debate!
Unfortunately for me the panel tore into my transhumanist views rather than ask me about the main topic for the evening, so I ended up debating something different. This is what I would have argued if there had been time:
Things look really good…if all you care about is money
Are things really getting better? Well, the answer is a resounding 'yes' if you're a monetary consequentialist (i.e., think all that matters is maximizing the amount of monetary resources in the world). A group of 21 economists plus one Bjørn Lomborg have a new book coming out soon that will survey 10 pressing global problems such as health, air pollution and gender equality in the world from 1900 to 2050. According to Lomborg's précis, they have found that on most of the dimensions, things are improving (only biodiversity is identified as having gotten worse), and the positive trends are expected to largely continue. This will come as some relief to those bemoaning recent political, environmental and humanitarian crises. But don't break out the champagne just yet – their analysis evidently relies on a crude GDP-centric measurement tool that obscures a number of crucial issues. Continue reading
What to do with the Redundant Churches After the Demise of Religion?
Some weeks ago I attended a lecture by Daniel Dennett at the Oxford Union on religion. As expected, it was a lively presentation that predicted the demise of religion. However, one matter that started me thinking was how Dennett concluded his lecture: he ended by pondering what we might do with all the redundant places of worship once his prophecy was fulfilled. His suggestion was that they might satisfy a secular purpose, as places where the community might come together to address the novel challenges of the modern world. I started me thinking as I wondered whether a belief in religion might be better than atheism for attaining this, or any other, goal. Some, such as Jonathan Haidt (The Righteous Mind (2012)) have suggested that religion is a particularly effective force for bringing people together. Continue reading
"The Best Interests of the Family": Parents v Baby?
There is much that is good to be said about Dominic Wilkinson's new book Death or Disability? The 'Carmentis Machine' and decision-making for critically ill children.
My favourite part of the book is how Dominic confronts head on the issue of the best interests of the family in relation to care, and withdrawal of medical treatment, in newborns.
This is one of the most neglected areas of bioethics.
On the one hand, there is a rhetoric that goes we are all social beings, we are socially connected, not atomistic individuals, the community matters, etc etc The usual communitarian mantra.
Then there is the alleged overriding legal and medical ethical principle of the best interests of the patient, which is the newborn infant in the case of neonatal medicine. The sole basis of the provision of medical treatment is meant to be to promote the best interests of the patient, and medicine should never be used to harm the patient, etc etc. The usual medical ethics and law mantra.
And then there is real life. The interests of the parents, siblings, other relatives, friends, society etc can all diverge from the interests of the patient, even a newborn infant. How are these to be weighed? The hard edged reality is that the interests of families and especially parents do play a role in clinical decision making, and even in cases to withdraw life-prolonging medical treatment. (For example, in one survey 90% of American intensivists believed that family interests should be included in decisions for incompetent patients. )
In 'Death or Disability?', Dominic reaches several striking conclusions. We should certainly give some weight to the interests of the family for decisions about children. This is most likely to sway our decisions in relatively borderline cases, where the net benefit or harm to the child is small. But he also argues that the amount of weight will vary depending on the age of the child, and on the availability of resources. We should give greater weight to the wishes of parents for newborn infants than for an older child. And we should give greater weight again in societies with few resources, where the burden of caregiving is going to fall heavily on families, and where health resources are seriously limited.
It is time for an honest, open and rational approach to these kinds of dilemmas. Dominic does just that.
The Best Practical Ethics Books of the Year…
By the editors of the Practical Ethics blog.
What is the best practical ethics book you read this year, and what is so good about it (in 1-3 sentences)?
We asked this question to our colleagues at the Oxford Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics. To our surprise, not a single title received multiple votes. This perhaps indicates that so many good books in the field appeared in the last couple of years, or perhaps a different explanation is due. Either way, below is the list of the recent titles we found excellent:
The Ends of Harm: The Moral Foundations of Criminal Law by Victor Tadros
'In this book, Tadros provides a highly engaging non-consequentialist account of the permissible harming of others. It is an important and illuminating work containing a number of original insights'. – David Birks
The Ethics of Transplants: Why Careless Thought Costs Lives by Janet Radcliffe Richards
'I give this out to people as a paradigm example of how to do good practical philosophy, especially in medical ethics. Janet dismembers bad arguments, like a pathologist dissecting a corpse riddled with metastatic cancer, and reveals the diagnosis, chapter after chapter. It is a fine example in the now neglected method of giving sound arguments, and exposing invalid ones. It is unabashedly pre-postmodernist and, as such, is intelligible and useful to any thoughtful person, specialist or non-specialist.– Julian Savulescu
Moralizing Technology: Understanding and Designing the Morality of Things by Peter-Paul Verbeek
'A thought-provoking account of human-technology relation that calls for a new understanding of and method for ethics in our technological age. This book will surely give you some food for thought. Perhaps, it will even change the way you understand the technologies around you'. – Pak-Hang Wong
Philosophy and the Environment ed. by Anthony O'Hear
'Philosophy and the Environment contains several excellent papers, including an outstanding piece by David Wiggins, which is both ethical and practical'. – Roger Crisp
The Prison Officer by Alison Liebling, David Price, and Guy Shefer
'Most of us never face extreme violence, aggression, corruption and despair, let alone need to make good, daily decisions about how to manage it effectively and with moral decency. Prison officers do. This book explores the psychology of prison officers and their relationships with prisoners, revealing what it is to do this demanding job well and carve morality out of the chaos often found within prisons'. – Hannah Pickard
The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion by Jonathan Haidt
'The Righteous Mind synthesises Haidt's influential work on different aspects of moral psychology, to create a unified vision of the field, and it is having significant influence accross a variety of academic disciplines'. – Stephen Clark
Skepticism and Freedom: A Modern Case for Classical Liberalism by Richard A. Epstein
'An interesting consequentialist defence of classical liberalism, limited government and free markets by an eminent academic lawyer. Philosophers may think some of the philosophical arguments go by rather quickly, but this is to miss the peculiar virtue of the book. His knowlege of the way law has worked in practice and the commonalities of law across culture and history fills out the defence with the kind of important and illuminating facts that philosophers rarely know'. – Nicholas Shackel
The Spirit of Compromise: Why Governing Demands It and Campaigning Undermines It by Amy Gutmann and Dennis Thompson
'The Spirit of Compromise skilfully combines normative reasoning with empirical analysis to provide concrete suggestions to correct some of the most serious deficiencies in contemporary democratic politics. It brilliantly shows how the "policy implications" of normative theory can be more than a polite gesture towards funding bodies'. – Kei Hiruta
Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman
'A nice summary of the evidence he's compiled during the course of his brilliant career into the scary levels of human irrationality'. – David Edmonds
Why Some Things Should Not Be for Sale: The Moral Limits of Markets by Debra Satz
'It draws on philosophy, economics, and anthropology to present a sophisticated and nuanced appraisal of the moral consequences of markets in human organs, sex and other actual or potential commodities. In doing so, it moves the debate about markets beyond the standard trite claims about efficiency, equality, or human dignity'. – Simon Rippon
1493: How Europe's Discovery of the Americas Revolutionized Trade, Ecology and Life on Earth by Charles C. Mann
'1493 is a beautifully written and deeply insightful exploration of how hard it is (and has always been) to anticipate the human consequences of globalization'. – Regina Rini

Fifty shades: should BDSM become part of general sexual education?
"BDSM [Bondage, Discipline, Sadism, Masochism] might be mainstream now, but it has a new PR problem. I blame Christian Grey." writes 'sexual submissive' Sophie Morgan in an article in the Guardian.
I started reading E.L. James' Fifty Shades of Grey but didn't get very far. It's very badly written (guess that's no longer a secret) and, well, I found it incredibly boring (Pride and Prejudice is more exciting, I think). In any case, the book is just a starting point for something I began thinking about after a recent conversation with a friend who is part of the 'BDSM community'.
The legal status of BDSM varies from country to country. In the UK, it is illegal if it results in any injury which is more than "transient or trifling". Possessing extreme pornography is a criminal offence, which, for obvious reasons, may be problematic for those who are into SM. Moreover, those who engage in any kind of BDSM are not legally protected against discrimination on the basis of their sexual preferences (for example, they can be, and have been, fired for that reason).
I haven't studied the issue in depth, but it seems to me that BDSM should be legal, the main reason being that it concerns a consensual sexual act by adults that doesn't cause harm to third parties. (There's an interesting paper by Nafsika Athanassoulis arguing why SM can be considered a consensual sexual act). But I was thinking about a further question. Should we put more effort into breaking the BDSM taboo? For example, in countries where BDSM is legal, should it be part of general sexual education?

Lombardi Mare, Alberto Lombardi's seafood extravaganza, has had a shift in the head. Executive chef Tony Knight has departed, or is departing, or might not completely depart, or something. "I'm just looking for other avenues, going a different route," he says. Knight adds he's been doing some consulting for Lombardi Mare's parent company, Lombardi's Inc., but he won't say precisely what he plans to do. "I'm not going to say anything until everything is sewed up on the other end," he adds. Ouch. But one thing is for sure: his slot's been filled. And taking the task of filling it is none other than Tom Fleming, recently executive chef of the Riviera. Why did he split from Franco Bertolasi's vaunted Continental dining room? "Change of pace," he says. "I love the Riviera. I love Franco Bertolasi. But I needed a change of pace in my life," he says. He also says he needs to get his feet wet, which is a good thing to do in a seafood restaurant. Following the foot lapping, Fleming will unveil a new Lombardi Mare menu in mid-November.

What are Futures Contracts?
What are Futures?A futures contract is an obligation (that is, a legally binding agreement between a buyer and seller) to receive (in the case of a long position) or deliver (in the case of a short position) a commodity or financial instrument sometime in the future, but at a price thats agreed upon today. These contracts mature at a particular point in the future and are identified by reference to that date for instance, a December Gold futures contract or a June 2012 Emini S&P 500 index futures contract. The ability to make or take delivery of the underlying commodity at the expiration creates a strong tendency for cash and futures prices to move in the same direction by roughly equal amounts, reacting to the same economic factors.
A Primer on Futures Trading BasicsFutures trades take place at any of the centralized exchanges. (example: CBOT, CME, NYMEX, COMEX, CSCE, etc) often in the open-outcry, auction style trading octagons, but electronic trade-matching platforms like the CME Globex system, for example are growing more and more important every year. In every transaction, the exchange clearinghouse is substituted as the buyer to the seller and the seller to the buyer thereby guaranteeing performance and eliminating counterparty risk. Customers who trade futures are required to post margin deposits with an exchange member firm (Like our FCM Vision Financial Markets) which, in turn, must deposit margin with the exchange. Margins are not payment against the market value of the commodity represented by the futures contract, but rather, are a performance bond (a good faith deposit) to ensure the ability of the market participants to honor their financial commitments and cover any obligations which might arise out of their trading activities.
Buying a futures contract is also known as taking a "long" position. If you Sell a futures contract, that is referred to as taking a short position. A long futures position makes a profit when the futures price goes up, and the short futures position profits when the futures price goes down. Maturing futures contracts expire on specific dates, usually during the contract month. At any time before the contract matures, the trader may offset, or close out, the obligation by selling what you had previously bought or buying what you had previously sold. By offsetting an open futures contract, a trader is relieved of any obligation to make or take delivery of the underlying commodity or financial instrument. This is made possible by the fact that futures contracts have standardized terms and trade on centralized exchanges. The majority of futures contracts are closed out by offsetting transactions prior to their maturity, rather than through the delivery process.
Futures Exchange, Clearing Firms, and Market ParticipantsU.S. futures exchanges typically operate with a trading floor where traders and brokers compete on equal footing in an auction-style, open-outcry market and where they communicate by voice and hand signals with others in the pit. Customer orders coming into the futures pit are delivered to floor brokers who execute them with other floor brokers representing other public customers or with floor traders known as locals, trading for their own accounts.
Trading by means of other electronic order matching has recently taken off and is surpassing those that are executed in the pit. Electronic trading is becoming the normal type of business nowadays even though there is still an open-outcry, auction-style pit presence during regular business hours.
Traditionally, each U.S. futures exchange has had its own clearinghouse that acts as the master bookkeeper and settlement agent. In every matched transaction executed through the exchanges facilities, the clearinghouse is substituted as the buyer to every seller and the seller to every buyer. The clearinghouse deals exclusively with clearing members and holds each clearing member responsible for every position it carries on its books, regardless of whether the position is being carried for the account of a non-member public customer or for the clearing members own account. The clearinghouse doesnt look to public customers for performance or attempt to evaluate their creditworthiness or market qualifications. Instead, the clearinghouse looks solely to the clearing member carrying and guaranteeing an account to secure all margin requirements and payments. The clearinghouse system is an important aspect of the financial integrity of the futures market.
A futures brokerage firm, known in the U.S. as a futures commission merchant (FCM), is the intermediary between public customers and an exchange. An FCM may be a full service firm, a discount firm or both. Some FCMs are part of a national or regional brokerage companies that also offer stock trading and other financial services, while other FCMs offer only futures and futures options. An FCM maintains records of each customers open futures and futures options positions, margin deposits, money balances and completed transactions. In return for providing these services and for guaranteeing the accounts carried on its books to the exchange clearinghouse an FCM earns commissions. By U.S. law, an FCM is the only entity, outside a futures clearinghouse, that can hold the funds of futures customers.
Federal Law also requires an FCM to segregate customer funds from the firms own funds at all times. The funds in segregation must be sufficient to meet the firms obligations to customers, and the FCM may not use those funds to satisfy any of its own obligations to creditors. Furthermore, an FCM must deposit its own funds to cover any customer-account deficits until the customer remits sufficient funds. Segregation of funds is designed to protect customer funds and make it possible to identify such funds in the event of an FCMs default or bankruptcy.
Futures Market Participants: Hedgers and SpeculatorsFutures market participants may be divided into two broad categories: Hedgers, who actually deal in the underlying commodity or financial instrument and seek to protect themselves against adverse price fluctuations, and speculators (including professional floor traders), who seek to profit from price swings.
The futures markets exist to facilitate the management of risk and are thus used extensively by hedgers-individuals or businesses who have exposure to the price of an agricultural commodity, or currency, or interest rates, for instance, and take futures positions designed to mitigate their risks. This requires the hedger to take a futures position opposite to that of his or her position in the actual commodity or financial instrument. For example, a corn farmer is at risk should the price of the commodity fall before he harvests and sells his crop. A short position in the futures market will return a profit when the price of corn declines and the hedgers profit on the short futures position compensates for the loss on the physical commodity.
Speculators are attracted to futures trading purely and simply because they see the opportunity to profit from price swings in commodities and financial instruments. Speculators take advantage of the fact that the futures markets offer them access to price movements; the ability to offset their obligations prior to delivery; high leverage (low margin requirements); low transaction costs; and ease of assuming short as well as long positions. (In futures trading, unlike stock trading, taking a short position is not subject to the uptick rule, nor to any broker/dealer interest charges) In pursuit of trading profits, speculators willingly take risks that hedgers wish to transfer. In this process, speculators provide the liquidity that assures low transaction costs and reliable price discovery, market characteristics which, in turn, make futures markets attractive to hedgers.
Regulation of the Futures MarketsThe Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is the federal agency that regulates the futures markets. The mission of the CFTC, which was created by Congress in 1974, is to protect futures market participants against manipulation, abusive trade practices and fraud; to guarantee the integrity of futures market pricing; and to assure the financial solvency of futures brokerage firms, exchanges, and clearinghouses. The CFTCs oversight and regulation help assure that futures markets provide effective price discovery and risk-transfer opportunities. You can get more information regarding the CFTC and their activities by visiting their site at www.cftc.gov

Auto insurance rates varied 25.3 percent in Nebraska last year, ninth most in the nation according to a new insuranceQuotes.com report. The lowest rates occurred in October/November and the highest in April.
Hawaii's 47.9 percent variance led the nation, followed by Wyoming (39.7 percent), Washington, D.C. (35.3 percent) and Maryland (34.8 percent). The smallest differences were in South Dakota (3.7 percent), Arkansas (4.4 percent), Utah (4.9 percent) and Iowa (5.7 percent).
Nationally, auto insurance rates ranged 7.5 percent from the cheapest month (December) to the most expensive (March).
"All of this illustrates why it's so important for consumers to regularly shop for car insurance," said Laura Adams, senior analyst of insuranceQuotes.com. "For example, while December was the cheapest month nationally, it was actually the most expensive in 11 states. You won't know whether you're getting a good deal unless you compare at least three different quotes."

Game Night 12/31: Inferno at ChiefsSubmitted by pete on December 31, 2005 - 19:56
Randy Rowe is back, and so are the Chiefs. COL-4 JHN-7 Randy Rowe led the way for the Chiefs potting a New Year's Eve hat trick. He wasn't the high man in points, however, as Doug Andress had an outstanding 5 helpers in the contest. Much maligned Lightning prospect Adam Henrich also had an outstanding game potting two goals. All-star Jonathan Boutin, fortunately, didn't have to be as outstanding as last night stopping 31 of 35 for the win.

Game Night 12/31: Falcons at PiratesSubmitted by pete on December 31, 2005 - 19:50
Good news/bad news: SPR-4 POR-5 (OT) The good news is the Falcons got a point finally after a long drought. The bad news is that they blew a 3-0 lead and had to scramble for a 3rd period tying goal just to get that point. Ryan Vesce led the way for Springfield with the key tying goal and an assist while veteran Jim Campbell dropped in two assists. Goaltender Brian Eklund stopped 36 of 41 shots faced in the loss. Honest question: How much longer does Jonathan Boutin stay in the ECHL while Eklund and Coleman continue to give up 4+ goals a night?

The Prospect's politics blog
Much is made of her status as the first black Republican woman elected to Congress. Less attention is given to her likely status as an "anchor baby."
It isn't about the substance, and it's only partly about presidential power.
They're already saying it might be impossible if Barack Obama hurts their feelings.
Do more for minorities and the poor, and you presumably risk driving social conservatives even further into the arms of Republicans. But ignore the needs of those who need more government activism and the Democratic base fails to turn out.
At the root of the uncertainty lies a pervasive doubt: whether the South can sustain the American Dream of each generation moving up and doing better than previous generations.

For the first time in nearly a quarter-century, the lines that determine which school students attend are supposed to be redrawn throughout Broward County.
On Thursday night, Desegregation Task Force members decided how to go about the monumental task of reshaping the school map.
Instead of on a school-by-school basis, the committee will draw the lines in consideration of 22 groups of elementary, middle and high schools around the county. The groups are alternately called feeder patterns or "innovation zones."

Though it seems as if the Levittown School District and Levittown United Teachers just settled a lengthy contract dispute, that time has arrived again and concerns that the district wasn't doing everything in its power to make those negotiations run smoothly were expressed by the LUT President during the Public Be Heard portion of the board of education's regular April meeting.
The Town of Hempstead has scheduled a public hearing for April 24 to consider the rezoning of a Levittown property from a "Business District" to "Golden Age Residence District."
This past week the Division Avenue High School Baseball team won all three of its baseball games. On Monday, the Blue Dragons faced West Hempstead and its ace pitcher Dennis Conroy who threw a no-hitter in the opening round of last year's county baseball tournament. Division won the game 6-1 behind the four hit, 13 strikeout performance of PJ Antoniato.
Over 700 runners successfully completed the 4th annual Kings Park 15 Kilometer Run on Sunday morning, March 25 including Levittown runners Carlos Castro, Jr. and Shane O'Leary, both of whom scored well up on the list of finishers.

Everything else seems to work fine. :-) Thanks, ....Nick.... PS: are there any cross product and magnitude functions? Thanks!

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
(an episode of Climax!)
Anthology / Family / Kid's Shows
Directed by Herbert Swope, Jr.
Climax! was an anthology series airing from 1954 to 1958, with performances by many top and up-and-coming stars of the era.
This episode, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, is based on the novel by Samuel Clemens and aired on September 1, 1955.
Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer discover buried treasure in a cave and think their troubles are over. Little do they know they are just beginning. When Huckleberry's drunken and mean father is supposedly drowned, Huck is adopted by the Widow Douglas and she begins to try to tame him. Believing his money is the root of all his troubles, he sells his fortune to Judge Thatcher, but Judge Thatcher really intends to keep the money in trust until Huckleberry is older. When Huck's father returns, not dead at all, he kidnaps Huck, wanting to steal his fortune. Tom helps Huck escape and Huck begins a voyage down the Mississippi River, looking to outrun his misfortunes. On his journey he meets up with two con men, The Duke and The Dauphin, who are also out to steal his fortune.

As of August 2014, I have nearly 2000 scripts in my bin-directory, totalling more than 100,000 lines. Those are distinct from scripts which I bundle with various programs. A few are modified versions of scripts written by others. Some of the scripts may be of interest to others.
There are several general-purpose scripts:

The original intent of this page was to provide sample scripts for building programs. Since then, I have written scripts for routine builds of the programs which I develop, as well as for managing releases and updating this website.
These are some of the scripts that I use in configuring, building and saving the logfiles from building programs on multiple platforms. A complete set of configure- and make-logs is useful for bug reporting.
Each program has its own set of build-scripts. Sample scripts for the larger programs are included in the download.
Build the program (within its working directory), with the most common configuration(s).
Repeat the
build-XXX script for a given
program, using different compilers and/or warning levels.
Build a given program, use the options from the corresponding
all-opts-XXX script, one at a time, to
build the program.
These remove the files from a build within the given program's working directory.
I use these scripts to save logfiles after doing a build. They all assume that there is a parallel directory of the same name, e.g., ../save-vile, next to the current directory. The current directory is the top of the build tree.
In particular (making them useful for bug-reports), they save the results from the configure script, along with log-files that are created using the cfg-XXX and build-XXX scripts for the corresponding programs.
These scripts are for more specialized uses.

CLASSPATH environment variable (which
controls linking and loading of Java classes.
If no arguments given, this script displays the names of the directories in the class-path. If argument is given, it is assumed to be either a class name (e.g., "String"), or a jar-file.
All matching names are displayed; the first is the one that will be loaded.
Options (arguments beginning with "-") are passed to 'ls'.
diffstat.css stylesheet.
The script expects one of two parameter conventions:

parameters, yielding only the absolute pathnames.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable (which
controls linking and loading of dynamic libraries.
If no arguments given, this script displays the names of the directories in the library-path. If argument is given, it is assumed to be a library name (e.g., "c" for -lc). All matching names are displayed; the first is the one that will be loaded.
Options (arguments beginning with "-") are passed to 'ls'.

This blog is maintained by the public information office of Germanna Community College.
Germanna's 2011 highlights include 'legendary' response to quake; $1 million grant from Stafford EDA toward campus in county; governor lauding groundbreaking for new science building
It may have been the biggest obstacle in Germanna Community College history.
But it produced perhaps the college's finest hour.
The 5.8 magnitude Aug. 23 earthquake closed the largest academic building at GCC's Fredericksburg Area Campus until Fall 2012 for repairs. Germanna President David A. Sam and his staff faced a daunting task—finding a way to move the 4,400 students and 321 classes—and quickly.
The results, said Virginia Community College Chancellor Glenn DuBois, were "legendary in my book." Deborah Brock, dean of arts and sciences, and Bill Fiege, dean of technical and professional studies, worked something close to a miracle. Virtually overnight, they re-engineered the schedule to make it work, moving classes to the second academic building at the Fredericksburg Campus and making some "hybrid," meaning part in the classroom and part online. Two hundred faculty members shared 10 offices.
For the most part, instead of creating tension, the crisis seemed to buoy students, faculty and staff and make them more determined. Germanna President David A. Sam praised college staff, faculty, administrators and volunteers for their hard work into evenings and on weekends, and for what he described as their ability to adapt, their can-do mindset and their amiable attitude under stress. "This is the most positive place I've ever worked, Sam said. ".., The earthquake was an opportunity for dysfunction. But I've been told by people at the Chamber and other business people, 'It's remarkable what you did."
Enrollment increased nearly 4 percent in spite of the quake, and when classes resumed on Sept. 6, unshakable students and faculty flashed smiles as they donned "Germanna Quake Break '11" t-shirts. DuBois said they: "carried on without missing a beat…. That spirit is what makes our students difference-makers."
Stafford EDA's $1 million matching challenge grant gets ball rolling for campus in county
Germanna continued to prepare for long-term growth as the Stafford Economic Development Authority awarded GCC a matching challenge grant of up to $1 million on May 5 to be used toward the establishment of a permanent campus in the county. Officials said the intent is to support workforce development and thereby economic development in the county.
Don Newlin, Chairman of the EDA, said: "Economic development and workforce development are critically linked. One cannot succeed without the other. Knowing this, the Economic Development Authority will launch a community-wide, 50-50 matching fundraising effort that will ultimately raise $2 million to support the acquisition of land for a permanent Germanna campus in Stafford."
Governor praises vision at groundbreaking for science building
Gov. Robert F. McDonnell was among the dignitaries on hand when the college broke ground on a high-tech, "green" three-story, 50,000-square foot academic building.
The governor said: "the vision behind Phase III—a lot of emphasis placed on the scientific disciplines [is necessary] to maintain American exceptionalism" and compete compete with economic powers on the Pacific Rim.
The building is expected to be completed by March and to open in the Fall.
GCC holds first Fall Commencement to accommodate growth
Germanna's rapid growth led President Sam to schedule a first-ever Fall Commencement because May Commencement crowds had become too big for the 2,500-seat Fredericksburg Expo Center, the largest indoor venue in the area. GCC is now approaching a total annual enrollment of 15,000.
Commencement speaker Kevin Jackson of Caroline County, who went from being an underachieving student 15 years ago in high school to being a hospital director in Richmond on the verge of earning his PhD, told the graduates: "Understand success is not something you start, but something you finish. So I challenge you today to always get back up and finish."
Student Government Association President Carla Craft told her fellow graduates, man of them had two or even three jobs and supported families as they went to Germanna, to keep doing what they're doing. ""Always strive to be the best that you can be and do the best job you can do," she said.
Germanna recognized as one of the nation's top colleges in use of digital technology
GCC was recognized by e.Republic's Center for Digital Education and Converge Online announced the winners in its seventh annual Digital Community Colleges Survey. The survey examined tech integration into college curriculum and campus life, tech training for students and faculty and distance learning, use of Web 2.0 social and collaborative capabilities and use of mobile devices, among other things.
Germanna awarded military-friendly school honor
G.I. Jobs, a national magazine for military personnel making the transition to civilian life, named GCC to its 2012 Military Friendly School list honoring the top 20 percent of colleges doing the most to embrace both active military service members and veterans as students.

Versace Wedges
How many Summer trends can you cram into one shoe? These Versace sandals manage four - white, wedges, platforms and bows - which is quite a feat. I can see these being sported by Reese at Cannes, teamed with a flirty little Marc Jacobs number or a classic Diane Von Furstenberg wrap dress. Mere mortals among us could try them with nautical white and blue, or this season's hot polka dots. If you can spare $937, that is!

Hi Janet...
I, too, have watch trends come and go. All I need to do is go back to the beginning of my eBay selling days to know that even the simplest of romantic pillows have changed. Everything is lighter, softer, paler.
I'm not a huge fan of the burlap thing. I like it but I leery of it.
I love your new room and can't wait to see it styled.
Your hubbs is right. Less IS more.

Wow cant believe the differnce in the photos! I've got rid of a lot of stuff too and am enjoying the neutrals a lot more these days.

Wouldnt get too carried away with it though as I still love my ornate items more!

Hi Janet,
What a transformation. I like the "less is more" theory as well...[except for one room of my studio that is overflowing with fabric]..I've collected for a dozen years and I used to joke that it would become my retirement income but now it's no longer a joke...this blasted economy is spoiling a lot of plans.
Thanks for the update and I look forward to more photos.

Hey Janet,
Well I have to say though I like your original ... I LOVE your NEW set up in the dining room... its open and airy and the colors are quite lovely and serene... it definitely has a softer feel to it....
Something about it makes me want to sit down and enjoy dinner and wine

Janet ~ such lovely photos! Your dining room is divine. Unfortunately, I am not one of those "less is more" gals. I just can't do it! Every time I try, I end up hating it and I hate parting with all of my cherished treasures! I must have a sickness! I love the room BOTH ways. I might be able to do the "after" room during the summer, but come fall it would revert back to the "before" and I would "junk it up" again as my husband would say! Oh well...it's nice to have the option don't you think! You did a FAB job! ~Stacy~
