The area code for the phone that Wendy calls is 702, which is in southeastern Nevada.
Goof: Mandy has a disappearing and reappearing necklace during her conversation in the lab with Warrick.
During the commentary for Lab Rats they said that Carol Mendelsohn heard that on the CSI message boards fans were thinking that Hodges was the miniature killer so they added that part when Henry and Wendy looked at Hodges in the breakroom thinking that he could be the killer-- "where would I find the time I'm always here." They said they put that in as a response for the fans.
Hodges attempts to solve the miniature killer crime as he says that the day is his lucky day. The following "lucky" things happen to him: He finds a dollar bill on his way to work; a pretty girl smiles back at him; the dollar bill gets him three packets of potato chips from the snack machine (which are a brand name "Lucky Chips"); he wins an e-bay auction, and makes a 1 in 600 billion match on some evidence.
Part of Hodge's "lucky day" includes winning an auction for a board game based on the 70's sit com "Three's Company" on e-Bay. This type of game is a recurring theme for Hodges, who was seen playing the "Dukes of Hazzard" board game in the Quentin Tarentino episodes.
We learn that Doctor Albert Robbins (aka Doc Robbins) has a fear of rodents.
Wendy (to Hodges): Look, this entire thing has turned into a three-ring circus, 'cause every time we get something, something else just comes along and proves us wrong. And, honestly, I think you've lost your damn mind. I mean, what makes you think if the CSIs can't solve this, that we can? Seriously. I'm a little tired of your delusions of grandeur. And I'm way behind in work, and I'm sick of sneaking around. So that's it. I'm out.
Henry: Well the victims don't have much in common so I say we got metaphoric, hypocrisy.
Wendy: Yeah I get it, there's Izzy the vegan eating bacon, Penny the cigarette smoking cancer patient, Raymundo the church going adulterer and Barbara the over medicated shrink.
(A pellet is pulled from the rat's stomach)
Grissom: What is that?
Doc Robbins: Black Tar Heroin.
Grissom: So the rat ate the mule.
Wendy: Well, we're working under the assumption that the killer was a foster kid, right? With probably an abusive childhood. So, to a bloody doll - I mean it's really not that much of a stretch to say that the doll represents the killer.
Hodges: Grissom had something on that. (reads from the file) "Freud's theory of the Uncanny raises the point that as children we want the doll to come to life, but as adults, we are terrified by the idea. Doll could represent the uncanny that is feared - the Sandman."
Wendy: Great, or exactly what I just said.
(Archie is about to sit on Grissom's chair)
Hodges: Ah... ah, ah, ah...
Archie: What?
Hodges: What are you doing?
Archie: Sitting.
Hodges: No No, you're tempting fate! You know how you should never try on someone else's engagement ring, hold the Oscar, or use the excuse your grandmother died when she didn't?
Mandy: I tried on Suzie Quinceworthy's diamond ring last year. It looked really good on her, and looked terrible on me. I don't think an emerald cut flatters my little ten-ies. Will I never marry?
Henry: I'll marry you. Although, you know, my grandmother's still alive. She lives down in Boca. I don't know if you know this, but I am the shuffleboard champion of the Boca Surf and Sand. Mm. Ladykiller of the senior set.
Mandy: Rock on. I can do an open marriage.
Hodges: Why do you guys keep doing that?
Mandy: Do what?
Archie: Hodges, relax, man. I don't want to run the lab.
Hodges: We are guests in the man's office. If there was one person who was more respectful of space and boundaries, it's Grissom. You could at least offer him the same courtesy.
(David wheels in a headless body on a stretcher)
Grissom: Where's his head, David?
David: They haven't found it yet.
Grissom (shakes his head slightly): Day shift.
Robbins: Ha!
Grissom: Can you smell that?
Robbins: Yes.
Grissom: You shouldn't be able to smell that through your suit.
Robbins: Good to know.
Hodges: Four people are dead, the killer is still out there, and you're mocking?
Mandy: We're mocking you.
Hodges: Ah. You in or out?
Henry: I don't really know anything about these cases...
Hodges: We'll review.
Henry: Yeah, I don't know, I have a lot of work to do.
Hodges: And by work you mean IM'ing your Icelandic penpal who thinks that you look like Warrick Brown because that's the picture you posted?
Henry: How...?
Hodges: I just know.
Grissom: An angry clown got pissed at some heckler with clogged arteries. It caused a heart attack.
Catherine: So... Greggo gets a hit at a mob restaurant and I get a clown who can't take a joke?
Grissom: Trust me, you don't want Greg's 419.
Grissom: Fellas, another incident at Lolita's.
Warrick: What now?
Grissom: Erotic athlete claiming a 420-Z. Paramedics have her on a stretcher.
Nick: What the hell's an erotic athlete?
Warrick: Well, I hope it's a tight end in a G-String.
Nick: Nice.
Hodges: Is that condensation?
Nick: Oh no, no it's lube. I think. Yeah, these bikinis are from the erotic athletes at Lolita's bar. This woman, uh Lucy Pavarotti broke her neck flipping around out there, well now she's suing everybody.
Hodges: Okay, I'm on it.
Nick (looking confused): Nothing?
Hodges: What?
Nick: Nothing at all? I mean I'm ready for Luscious Lucy likey Lolita's Lubey, or something.
Hodges: Every man is not an end, but a beginning. Today I rise above and step up. Have a nice day.
Hodges: This is exactly why I didn't invite you to join us, you take over everything.
Wendy: Uh!
Hodges: Grissom asked me to gather some techs to review the miniature cases, like a think-tank.
Wendy: Yeah, I know they told me. So, kudos to you.
Hodges: I hand selected them with careful consideration to group dynamics.
Wendy: Well, I can see that I mean it's you and your backup singers. You're Davy Hodges and the Lemmings. You should take your act out on the road.
Henry (off screen): We can hear you.
Wendy: Look, the only reason you don't like me is because I actually stand up to you, which by the way is exactly what you need. I mean, come on, you know I'd be good at all this miniature stuff.
Hodges: That's not the only reason.
Wendy: Really? Okay, what is it?
Hodges: You think you're too cool.
Wendy: Oh my God, what are we, twelve?
Hodges: I don't know, are we?
Wendy: I don't know, are we? (Hodges doesn't answer)
Archie (knocks on window): Later betties.
Hodges: Quitter.
Archie: Glory whore.
Wendy: But is it still considered food if it's alive and clucking?
Henry: You've never lived in Pennsylvania.
Hodges: I think if the killer is trying to make some sort of anti-food statement, there are much better places in Vegas to do it.
Henry: Like blowing up a buffet.
Wendy: Yeah. Gluttons eating crab legs. That's exactly where I'd start.
Henry: I can't even do it in front of my cat. (Mandy snorts)
Hodges: We're lab techs. We think differently than field guys. They deal with people, we deal with things. Maybe we can't find the killer, but I think we can find the thing that links all four murders. This is an opportunity. We have one shift to show Grissom what we're made of. Tonight, we could be heroes.
Mandy: All right. I'm in.
Hodges: It's time to think outside the box.
Grissom: It's just a rat fellas, why you wearing the hazmat gear?
David: He made me do it.
Doc Robbins: It's a wild animal covered with potentially biohazardous material, with claws. Rabies, scabies, AIDS, hepatitis, I'm thinking of this suit as a giant rubber glove.
Henry: So, we're looking for an obsessive, meticulous, dark assed misanthrope who seeks recognition for his efforts. (Wendy and Henry look at Hodges, who's laying out his food in piles of three)
Hodges: When would I find the time? I'm always here.
Grissom: Did you know that rodents have skeletons with flexible joints?
Doc Robbins: No.
Grissom: If they can get their head through something, the rest of their body can contort to fit. They can crawl into spaces as small as a quarter.
Doc Robbins: Lousy varmints. (on seeing the fried rat, Doc laughs) Bastard hit the main line.
Hodges (on seeing Greg covered in spaghetti sauce): Some garlic bread, some nice Chianti maybe?
Greg: Kiss my ass. I'd like to see you crawl around a dumpster, determining the difference between blood and marinara sauce, with six mobster goons giving you the stink eye.
Sara: Hey.
Wendy: Hey.
Sara: Here you go. I checked under the keys. (she hands Wendy a keyboard) Crusty white stains, pale blue under ALS.
Wendy: Semen, huh? What made you check under the keys?
Sara: A butt print on the credenza.
Wendy: Yeah, okay, that's gross.
Sara: CDC contacted us because the whole office has a herpes simplex one outbreak, and nobody could figure out why. I guess you never really know what's going on in your office.
Wendy: You are a liar and an ass. I mean, if you want to go around like Sir Galahad just yanking swords willy-nilly, that it totally your business. But you put all of us at risk here.
Hodges: I think we might be onto something with the bleach.
Wendy: Hey! Stop! Archie and Henry gave up a full days work thinking that they were doing something to help Grissom. And Grissom never even asked you to do this in the first place.
Hodges: Technically, all I said to them was that Grissom needed our help, which is true. I only lied to you.
Wendy: Aren't you worried about your own caseload?
Hodges: I've trained them all to believe that the laser ablator and the mass spec take twice as long as they actually do.
Wendy: Oh my God. I cannot believe you. I can't believe that for half a second I actually thought that I might...
Hodges: You what?
Wendy: Nothing. What on God's green earth possessed you to do this?
Hodges: It's my lucky day.
Wendy: What?
Hodges: It's my lucky day.
Grissom: Good job Hodges, really. Now, do you mind. (tilts head toward door, motioning to leave)
Hodges: Absolutely. (stops at the door) I'm sorry, if I crossed the line, won't happen again.
(loud thumps and thuds come from within the ceiling)
Doc Robbins: Pestilence...alive and well. (electricity crackles as primary power shuts down; auxiliary power activates)
Grissom: I think he's on to us, Doc.
Hodges: When you walked away, it was like my star aligned. My lucky day.
Wendy: Lucky? You're a scientist.
Hodges: I was trying to help Grissom.
Wendy: C'mon. If Gil Grissom were here, he'd slap your face.
Grissom: This better be good, Dave.
Hodges: Bleach.
Grissom: What?
Hodges: I-I found a common element in all four miniatures. Bleach. There's a bottle of it in the trash at Izzy's, there's a barrel of it at the chicken plant, there's uh-uh bleach in the water at Barbara's condo, and now... A bleach coupon in Penny's. This-this may sound crazy, but if the killer is a housekeeper, or a janitor they would certainly know the ins and outs of each location. Uh, what goes in what drawer, what book on what bookshelf, hours of operation, habits, schedules. I've thought a lot about the killer's pathology, and there doesn't seem to be any regular interval between murders, which makes me think that they're being triggered by something. Maybe... Maybe the killer is triggered by bleach.
Grissom: The bellows.
Hodges: I'm sorry?
Grissom: James Tilly Mathews. Early 19th century London. Mathews was in Bedlam hospital awaiting trial. Doctors were trying to determine his sanity. Several interviewed him. Half thought he was sane, half insane. Turns out he was perfectly normal, except when someone mentioned politics. At that point, he'd go into a rage about the little men who lived underground and used a bellows to push thoughts into his mind, as well as the minds of Parliament, and the Queen. A specific object or word triggers the urge to kill. That's a form of delusional psychosis. Rare, but it does exist.
Hodges: If the killer is one of Ernie Dell's foster kids, maybe bleach played a roll in some sort of childhood abuse. He's getting back at the world for what they did to him.
Grissom: Well, if having bleach in your home is the common element among victims, huh, then anyone could be next.
Wendy: Hey Sara, is it true that the miniature cases have been keeping Grissom up at night?
Sara (defensive): How would I know?
Wendy: I just thought that maybe you guys all talk about it and Hodges told me that Grissom confided in him and you know what, nevermind just forget I even asked.
Sara: Well, listen I don't know what Hodges has been telling you but do you really think that Grissom would confide in him, about anything?
Wendy: No, of course not.
Hodges: What?
Wendy: That was a very good idea.
Hodges: Well, I have one occasionally.
Hodges (after Wendy uses Hodges' phone to call the suspected mini-maker): Nice one Simms, now they have my cell phone number.
(referring to the miniatures)
Hodges: I don't know if any of you have noticed how distracted Grissom's been lately, but it's these, keeping him up at night.
Doc Robbins (sarcastically): Nice work.
Grissom: At least I tried to get him...where were you?
Doc Robbins: I hate rats.

(Talking with her shoe as a cellphone)
Mandy: Oh James, this is Moneypenny, M needs you back at HQ.
Archie: The shoe was Get Smart.
Henry: 99 was so hot.
These are allusions to two spy related stories: James Bond, Moneypenny is the secretary of M, Bond's boss; and Get Smart (1965 to 1970), which had two principal characters Agent 86 and his female partner, Agent 99 (Agent 86 had a phone on his shoe).
The scene in which the rat burst from the body in the morgue is a reference the 1979 film Alien.

But the club intrigues her. Then she meets the club's former owner. Tall and handsome, he has no intention of letting her be in charge, or even letting her mouth off without a spanking. That's fine for an evening, but can they make it last for longer? A little kinky fun is one thing, but Vincent wants more, and she needs to find out just what he means when he says he wants to be her owner.

For those interested in the forces that propel -- and obstruct -- political change, last week offers an object lesson. Obama's clinching of the Democratic presidential nomination has made real the prospect of badly needed change on a wide range of issues. But some worry that the young candidate could have trouble turning his soaring rhetoric into tangible improvement for American lives if he takes the White House.
Although the country faces huge challenges in economic, climate, foreign and other policy questions, there is a smaller issue awaiting action that serves as a bell weather for the kind of nation American will become in the years ahead: whether the promise of equal treatment should extend to gays and lesbians who want to serve their country in uniform.
Like other major Democratic candidates, Obama has come out clearly for ending discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation in military service. But none has been able to do so. Now, however, the tide may finally be turning. On the same day as Obama sealed the nomination, Sam Nunn, the former senator whose name has surfaced as a possible Obama running mate, publicly ended his opposition to openly gay service, a leap forward for the lawmaker who had been the principle Congressional sponsor of the gay ban back in 1993. Nunn said last week that "times change" and it is now "appropriate to take another look" at the policy. His remarks came three days after his friend, Charles Moskos, chief architect of the "don't ask, don't tell" policy, died, depriving the world of an affable and passionate military sociologist but also of the sole remaining intellectual defender of anti-gay discrimination in the military.
The question now is what is the future of the policy that even Charles Moskos once called "insidious," and that the former Judge Advocate General of the Navy has called "odious"? Will the falling dominoes of opposition result in its demise or will social conservatives and their representatives in Congress succeed in keeping the ban in place as an expression of their moral opposition to homosexuality? Could Barack Obama, as candidate or president, use the bully pulpit to finally end one of the last remaining instances of government-sanctioned discrimination in America?
In his remarks about the gay ban last week, Sen. Nunn said any reconsideration of the policy should begin with "a Pentagon study." Likewise, in one of the last interviews on the subject before his death, Charles Moskos called for a "bipartisan commission" to study the policy. No one is against research, but all too often, such language is used as a delay tactic to sound reasonable while avoiding taking real action that could be warranted by what the latest research shows. After all, it was Nunn himself who, in spearheading opposition to gay service in 1993, said even then that the issue should be "studied" carefully and that no action should be taken "overnight."
During that battle, in which Nunn badly wounded his own party's leader, the senator's reputation as a national security expert and staunch defender of the military -- to colleagues, he was known as "Mr. Defense" -- made it plausible for him to frame the national conversation in terms of military readiness, rather than the civil rights terms favored by advocates of gay equality. The key question, Nunn said in the dramatic Senate hearings he held in the spring of 1993, was not morality or fairness but military effectiveness. As a seasoned political operative, he was able to ensure that the Senate deliberations appeared fair-minded, calm and serious. He insisted that his moral beliefs had no bearing on his position on the issue and on how he conducted the Senate hearings. "I can tell you that I have my own moral beliefs," he said, "but that's not playing a role in my hearings." Nunn even said Americans needed to be "tolerant of people who have different lifestyles."
All of it sounded eminently reasonable, except that anyone with a modicum of experience in politics could see that Nunn used the "study" period not to assess the evidence in order to put the issue to an informed vote, but to build an arsenal of weapons to defeat the effort to lift the ban. Time was used not to learn, but to let opposition fester and grow. Studies were buried when they concluded the wrong thing. And hearings were stacked against Nunn's political opponents.
When Nunn found out that the planned testimony of retired Army Colonel Lucian Truscott III would describe the experiences of openly gay service members seamlessly integrated into their units, he removed him from the roster. When Nunn realized that the father of modern conservatism, Barry Goldwater, was also planning to testify that gays ought to be allowed to serve openly in the military, he replaced him too.
Concerns about military effectiveness certainly drove Nunn's efforts. But they also reflected what can only be understood as antipathy to gay people. In 1984, Nunn backed Senator John Glenn's bid for the White House, citing his "courage" in expressing the "strongly held moral belief that homosexuals should not be the role models for our children." Nunn dismissed two political aides because they were gay, and defended his actions by saying they could not work effectively on classified matters because their homosexuality made them a security risk. Asked in 1993 if he believed that the heterosexual lifestyle was "morally superior to the homosexual lifestyle," Nunn answered that he was "not only saying that" but that "American family deterioration is one of the biggest problems we face in our culture," implying that tolerance of gays and lesbians was a leading contributor to the problem.
In the end, little changed for gay troops, and Nunn worked hard to derail even the minimal reforms that President Clinton continued to promote as he lost the battle to lift the ban altogether.
Fifteen years later, Nunn's had second thoughts. "I think [when] 15 years go by on any personnel policy, it's appropriate to take another look at it," he said last week, to "see how it's working, ask the hard questions, hear from the military." Nunn is now even suggesting that the law he championed was just the "beginning point," making it "possible for people to serve honorably in the military without lying on the application." It's revisionist history at best: nowhere in the record did Nunn ever make the case that he was shepherding through a temporary law (although other players did view "don't ask, don't tell" this way). And while it's true that gay recruits no longer have to lie on their enlistment applications, they continue to have to lie on a daily basis while serving -- any time a peer asks them the most basic question about their personal lives.
As can be seen by revisiting Nunn's past words and deeds, the true source behind opposition to gay service was never concerns about unit cohesion, as was often stated, but moral animus to gay rights. And so his call now to "study" the issue ought to raise eyebrows. Indeed, in the case of gay service, it's not clear that any more studies are needed. An enormous amount of data has accumulated since 1993 showing that openly gay service does not impair the military, but that the ban itself wastes talent, further stretching our forces and undermining trust among troops who are not allowed to be honest with one another. The research includes studies conducted and commissioned by the government and even the Pentagon, which in some cases have been suppressed by military officials when the results conflicted with the current policy of anti-gay discrimination. Twenty-four nations now allow gays to serve openly, and thorough studies of their experiences corroborate that banning open gays is both unnecessary and damaging to the forces.
Nunn's call for reconsideration of the gay ban is a welcome development, but his proposal for a Pentagon study is behind the curve, especially given the military's history of burying studies on this topic whose conclusions its leaders oppose. Over 140 members of Congress have already signed a bi-partisan bill to repeal "don't ask, don't tell," and a Congressional committee is planning hearings on the matter this summer. Ultimately, the fate of the ban on open gays rests in the hands of Congress. But with Nunn's new course and Moskos' death, two giants of support for the gay ban are no longer championing discrimination. This changing of the guard also gives Barack Obama a historic opportunity to succeed where Bill Clinton failed, and to show he will be a new kind of politician, who is not cowed by fear. Whether Obama leads on this issue will say a great deal about what kind of president he plans to become.

One problem you should watch out for is clumping of spores, and colonies which originate from mycelial fragments. About 12-16 hr after plating your zoospores, you should examine you paltes with a dissecting scope and mark those incipient colonies which have clearly originated from a single spore.

The new and currently unidentified owner of The Place With Space self-storage facility in Ypsilanti, Mich., is a suspect in a string of alleged unit thefts that occurred between March 22 and April 9, beginning just two weeks after the previous long-term owner, Warren Heldt, died. It is unclear when the new owner took over, but Heldt filed paperwork with the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs of Michigan as the owner on Nov. 20, according to the source.
A media release about the incident stated a "58-year-old Augusta Township resident" was identified as the only suspect.
The Pittsfield Township Police are investigating the larcenies that took place at 5200 W. Michigan Ave., where police said the new owner entered units, stole items and possibly sold them. The number of compromised units was not released, nor did police comment on what led them to pinpoint the storage owner as the suspect. Some of the missing items have been recovered and returned, the source said.
Police are asking anyone with information to contact them.

Buzz Ward's power hitting sparked the offense as the Juneau-Douglas High School baseball team defeated the Sitka Wolves 5-2 Thursday at Adair-Kennedy Memorial Park.
Ward's two-run homer over the left field fence was his first of the year and gave the Crimson Bears (5-0) a 5-1 lead in the third inning.
"I was ahead in the count and looking to be aggressive," Ward said. "I was looking for a fast ball and that is what (Sitka pitcher Ryan Staten) gave me."
Sitka's Staten pitched six innings and did a solid job minimizing Juneau's scoring opportunities, but Juneau's bats started hot as the Bears' Corey Mahar, Joe Kohan and Aaron Cohen scored in the first inning.
Shane Rud had a sacrifice RBI while Mahar, Kohan and Cohen all recorded singles in the first-inning rally.
Juneau pitcher Christopher Millay threw a solid overall game, but suffered some growing pains in the second inning. Millay walked four straight batters, leading to Sitka's first run.
It could have been a lot worse, but JDHS center fielder Mahar made an outstanding defensive play when he chased down a blooper with diving catch to end the inning.
"The key to this ball game was our defense," JDHS coach Jamie Kissner said. "We made all the plays and didn't have any errors. Kohan made a diving play up the middle to get a guy out at second and that was huge for us at the time."
Kohan's defense ended a fourth-inning threat when Sitka put runners on second and third. Richard Carlos drove home David Reynolds with a sacrifice fly to cut the score to 5-2.
JDHS pitcher Dakota Smith entered the game in the sixth and finished strong, striking out two batters.
Despite the final score, Sitka threatened at various times in the game and forced JDHS to focus.
"We beat them pretty good a couple of weeks ago," Kissner said. "Hopefully this game will help us keep our focus for our game against Sitka tomorrow."
For Sitka, the competitive game proved a step in the right direction.
"We got thumped pretty good a couple of weeks ago by these guys and we really wanted to go out and prove to ourselves that we could stay in the game with these guys, and we went out and did that," said Sitka head coach Randy Conway. "This was as good a high school game as you're going to see right there."

Free for me, but not for thee…….don't recall me reading about this attitude as real prevalent with the founding fathers. But it has been very prevalent within the ranks of the left. We see this in many ways, from the vigorous effort to re instate The Fairness Doctrine to even the very definition of diversity as being applied only in terms of skin color or gender, not diversity of ideas or beliefs. Thus, we have the next generation of leaders spoon fed a limited application of one of this countries greatest freedoms. Check this video out concerning those best and brightest and how they would continue the tradition of unfettered speech:
Alright, to be fair, it would take some critical thinking skills, some dot connecting, to associate banning those with different points of view from the radio as some how denying them free speech. But notice that the interviewer even tried to give them a heads up, several of them, but it just did not register. Bless their pea brains but maybe they thought that this was not really about free speech since these radio blowhards still have their newspaper columns, or their website, or the blogs, or other means to spread the hate. But when presented with only two concepts, removing evil people from the radio, evil people/radio,they could not fight their reflective nature and grabbed that pen with gusto.
Even the guy at the 1:30 mark, who almost came to his senses and spotted the prank, even he signed the petition. And the guy at the 1:50 mark, he is going to be your boss in about 10 years, just don't call him stupid to his face.
There is a great Howard Stern bit where he sent a reporter to Harlem before the last presidential election and asked some questions, all the while switching the position of the candidates, funny as hell
The loss of liberties will not come at the end of a gun, but will die from neglect and starvation.

Computer nerds do not deal with sexual politics well. Generally, they try to make sex function in a way that works for them, best demonstrated by the hilariously douchey world of hook-up apps, and that doesn't end well. It's hard to make somebody like you by yelling equations at them. So the rich nerds of the Bay Area are turning to PUAs to teach them how to interact with human beings.
Truthfully, having been that nerd, I feel for these guys. If you don't have a good model for social skills and speaking with people, it can be extremely hard to make friends, let alone land a date. And to be fair, the PUA SF Weekly profiles, Vince Kelvin, is teaching them how to talk to women, not to insult them. But then he says, well, stuff like this:
Kelvin says that his San Francisco clients tend to be intellectuals who overanalyze every situation and can't get out of own their heads as they dissect and evaluate each interaction while it's occurring — a kiss of death for chemistry. They're also very shy, reluctant to make advances unless they're absolutely confident that they won't get rejected.
"Part of the problem is that the guys beat around the bush, that's why they don't get the bush," Kelvin says.
We apologize in advance for both the strong itching sensation on your knuckles as the urge to punch this guy overwhelms you, and the sudden reek of industrial hair gel flowing out of every opening in your computer. The guy calls himself "Hollywood", what do you expect?
Anyway, at least these guys are getting help talking to women. Maybe this will bleed into their work and we'll get apps designed for human beings.

News and Notes
A Newsletter for Faculty and Staff of Idaho State University
October 1, 2007 — Vol. 23 No. 26
A new Idaho State University flag now flies along with the U.S. and Idaho flags on Hutchinson Quadrangle just outside the administration building. The ISU flag is a new identifier for the university. ISU also will be able to unilaterally raise and lower its own flag in response to events that are particularly pertinent to the university and the local community. The U.S. and Idaho flags had previously flown on poles that stood amid tall conifers adjacent to the administration building, but the flags would often flap into the trees' branches on windy days.

Welterweight contender Jesus Soto Karass appeared on the most recent edition of BoxingScene Radio to talk about his upcoming fight against former champion Andre Berto. Soto Karass' career appeared to be close to over when he was stopped by Marcos Maidana last September. The Sinaloa, Mexico native turned his career around by outboxing the heavily favored Selcuk Aydin in January.
While Soto doesn't have the prettiest record, he feels that he continues to get tv dates because of his style.
"My record is what it is but you have to also look at the record and see who I lost to and how. I think I get back on TV because of my quality. I always put on great, entertaining shows," Soto Karass explained.
The 30-year-old veteran of many ring wars promises that July 27th will be another brawl that will captivate the fans. He said he is extremely motivated to move his career closer to a title shot.
"It is going to a war. I know Berto has two losses. I know he's had the opportunity to fight for a title. I haven't had that yet and I want it. You know what I bring. I am going to come forward and be aggressive. I think the fans will be the real winners," said Soto Karass.
The two fighters exchanged words on June 8th at the Stub Hub Center in Carson, CA during the Marcos Maidana versus Josesito Lopez fight. Soto admitted that the exchange was a heated but said that the talking is over and that next Saturday he will back up his words.
"When I get in the ring I have to do my work. I said (voy a partirle su madre)
I'm going to f*** him up and that's what I have to do, f*** him up. If he wants to shake hands afterwards and make it right that's cool but right now I have to concentrate on going in and f***ing him up," Soto Karass bluntly stated.
When we mentioned that Golden Boy President Oscar De La Hoya is offering a bonus for the best knockout of the night, Soto Karass said that while getting a knockout is nice, winning the fight is the most important thing.
"A bonus is never a bad thing but right now my only focus is on f***ing him up. F****ng him up is the most important thing right now. If I f*** him up and they give me the bonus then even better but f****ng him up is the most important thing," Soto Karass told BoxingScene Radio.

Outside Westbank
"The people at Westbank are creative beyond belief, and they also know how to execute."
"I think the risk in doing good development comes from being bold enough to envision what a project could be."
"I think he keeps score by the value of things aesthetically."
"I don't think it's ever been about the money with Ian, I think he wants to change the skyline."
"Westbank adds value to buildings through the arts and I'm very respectful of that."
"The real expectations are that they bring an architectural artistry to the building itself"
"It was pretty astonishing to find someone who was as prepared as he was to actually make the effort that the project required."
"They have some really strong ideas, but then Ian kind of just lets you go, he trusts you."
"The people who work with him appreciate that he trusts them and allows them to add their own value to the project and their own design ideas."
"I think he is deeply interested in shaping cities – in their economic, social and artistic dimensions."
"Whether you like them or not, these details are interesting pieces of work which make the buildings more distinctive"
Inside Westbank
"He has such passion for design; I have to say he has single-handedly raised the bar for building design in Vancouver."
"Every project, he pushes the envelope on something. It's not necessarily height, not necessarily monetary risk, but it's something"
"I think our company will always be remembered for the impact of Woodward's on the community."
"What put Ian on the map was Shaw Tower. We knew that rezoning and selling residential on top of an office building would make it work."
"Ian uses the word passion to describe it and so do I, because everybody here has a tangible passion."
"Ian is very passionate about contributing a great piece for the city, one which can truly help people."
"Building the best body of work is that tone. It's about forever doing more."
"He wants to make each project a statement, a reflection of himself or a reflection of something a whole lot better than concrete, glass and steel."
"If Ian's excited about a project, it will happen, no matter what it is, because he's got his thinking cap on and he's working on that project."
"The culture comes from Ian; he's an energetic guy and I think what makes Westbank special."

What Made Me A Chicago Bears Fan, You Ask?May 27, 2009
So, you want to know what turned me into a Chicago Bears fan?
I was only four years old when they did the Super Bowl Shuffle, so it wasn't that.
I was only six years old when Walter Payton retired, so it wasn't him.
They repeatedly missed the playoffs all throughout my teenage years (the beginning of my football fandom), so it wasn't the winning.
So, what was it, you ask?
I cannot explain to you why I am a fan of the Chicago Bears; I just am. It is just what I know.
It's kind of like how you pull into your driveway late at night coming home from a friend's house, and you don't remember a minute of how it is you got there.
Or, how you go to your high school reunion, see someone you haven't seen in twenty years, and immediately remember everything about them even though you haven't thought of them once in twenty years.
The Bears are that drive home for me. And, they're that familiar face I could forget every offseason, but see on every opening day and remember everything I thought I forgot.
Obviously, living in the Chicagoland area, all of the Bears games were televised every Sunday, Monday, Thursday, or Saturday. But, my dad was not a football fan, so it was not like it was mandated that the game was on. I just ended up watching it.
As a youngster, my dad, brother, and I would all watch wrestling every Sunday when we came home from church.
That was up until I learned better, and realized football was the better contact sport to watch when arriving home after sitting through an old man saying a sermon and some even older ladies singing about something I knew nothing about, nor cared about at that time.
So, I got into football. At first, I enjoyed watching good players and teams, so, of course, I liked the Jerry Rice 49ers, the Emmitt Smith Cowboys, and the Barry Sanders Lions.
But, something kept bringing me back to the Neal Anderson Bears.
Yes, that's right. I said Neal Anderson.
He was the first player I remember liking on the Bears teams.
But, just as I started to like him, he became obsolete. He started missing games, and before I knew it, he was gone into the deep abyss of those no-name legends of the game.
Looking back at the team rosters after that, I can't imagine who it was that made me keep liking the Bears.
Erik Kramer, Curtis Enis, Rashaan Salaam, Curtis Conway, Jeff Graham, and the list goes on with a bunch of guys that nobody will remember in 20 years, other than us Bears fans.
We have wallowed in mediocrity for a lifetime, it seems. Well, for me, it has been a lifetime. Even when we are winning, it seems like we are doing it with less talent and more grit and determination.
And, yes, it feels good to win games that way, but every once in a while we just wish we could be watching Jerry Rice catch balls, or Barry Sanders juke defenses, or have Joe Montana passing to our receivers. It would be great to see that type of talent in a Bears uniform every Sunday, Monday, Thursday, or Saturday.
Now, I sit on my couch for every game, watching alone, watching my instinct.
They are my team. I don't know quite how to explain it, but they are.
Go Bears!!!

Each home will receive a $45 contribution through the program for three tamper-resistant alarms with batteries designed to last up to 10 years.
"This is one of the important contributions we are proud to make on behalf of BP," said Curtis Thomas, BP's Ohio Director Government and Public Affairs.

Pick 3
1. Frances Frago Townsend - She's Bush's current Homeland Security advisor and a lifetime government lawyer/prosecutor who formerly held several high positions at the Department of Justice. As one of Bush's closest confidants, she has won the President's deep respect and trust over the last four years. As a Democratic appointee (holdover from the Clinton administration) she'd have broad bipartisan appeal.
2. Mary Jo White - This tough-minded former prosecutor is now a partner at Debevoise and Plimpton. She may not be "bookish" enough for the role of Justice, but she's a Columbia Law grad and few could doubt that she's smart. Though Clinton appointed her to the her post as U.S. Attorney, rumor has it she's been disenchanted with the Democratic party of late.
3. Sonia Sotomayor - Appointed by Bush I to the District Court, elevated by Clinton to the Circuit Court, she's also likely to face easy confirmation by Democratic Senators while simultaneously allowing Bush to check off the woman and Latina boxes. The only problem is she too may not be conservative enough either for Bush or for his conservative base. That may be why she's not mentioned on any short lists.
I'm not sure that I'd nominate any of these three, but I'd certainly take a close look at their resumes. As you might have noticed, all of my picks assume 1) that the person should be a woman and 2) that a compromise moderate pick is better than a conservative ideologue who will further divide the country with a bitter confirmation hearing. I'm pretty confident that with Roberts already on the court and one or two more justices likely to go before Bush's term is out, the court is in no danger of going radically liberal any time soon. Why not take the opportunity to show some civility?
Death in the Afternoon? Mansfield Fox?

For some families, summer camp is an almost automatic rite of summer. When school ends, summer camp begins. Families who need child care to cover the summer months when school's out often find that summer camp fits the bill. And it's fun too!
Pros and Cons of Summer Camp
Many work-at home parents also need that same kind of all-day child care in the summer months, but others don't.
Working parents who may already budget for after-school or other child care during the school year may find it easier to cover the cost of summer camp.
WAHMs who freelance or run a business may have unpredictable schedules making committing to a specific week of summer camp months in advance impractical.
And for these families summer camp becomes more of a luxury than a necessity. And that's when it can get tough deciding whether to send your child to camp.
But whether it's a day camp in a local community center or a faraway overnight camp, summer camp can be a valuable experience for kids. And this, of course, is a prime consideration for all parents thinking about summer camp.
Points to Consider
- Your child's interest in/readiness for camp - Camp should be fun, and sending a child before he or she is ready could spoil the experience for years to come. Determine your child's summer camp readiness before enrolling them.
- Benefits of a summer camp experience - Summer camps are no longer nature experiences. There are camps specializing in all sorts of activities or in kids with special needs or interests. Camp can provide an experience to your kids that they couldn't get at home or school. Find a specialty summer camp.
- Cost of summer camp - Cost is an important factor for most families, but there are ways to cut the cost of summer camp. If sending your child to camp is important to you, plan for it and start saving in advance. For some families summer camp simply is not in the budget, but there are many other fun alternatives to summer camp.
- Your need for child care. - If you need child care during the summer, camp can be a great solution, but it is not the only summer child care option. If you already have a caregiver, but want your child to have a summer camp experience consider sending your child to camp when your caregiver is on vacation.
- Convenience of transporting children to camp - Transporting kids to and from day camp can put you back on the commuter track, something you're trying to avoid by working at home. Consider how much time transportation to camp takes out of your work day. Find a summer camp by region.
- Summer vacation schedule Sometimes camp doesn't fit in with all the other things you may have planned for the summer. Camp can be a great experience but school-age children may need a break after a highly scheduled school year. If it doesn't fit in, don't force it.

Needham celebrates high school dedication
Parents, students and officials gathered outside the High School's new main lobby to dedicate the new wing Sunday afternoon.
By Kathryn Eident
Globe Correspondent
It was a beautiful, if windy, day Sunday as nearly 100 residents and officials gathered to celebrate the completion of the newly-renovated High School with a brief outdoor ceremony.
School and town officials thanked residents for their support during a five year, $62 million construction process and celebrated both the town and the school's future.
"This Needham High School facility has finally come to be, and the wait was worth it," School Committee Chairman Joseph Barnes said. "We have well-lighted classrooms and state-of-the-art labs. The teacher-student interaction couldn't take place in a better environment."
The ceremony included brief speeches from students who expressed their relief that the construction is finished and excitement for all the school now has to offer.
"For the students and teachers the possibilities here at Needham High School are endless," said NHS Student Council President and Senior Meg Kardok. "I never thought I'd say this but, I wish I was a freshman again."
The NHS Chorale sings the National Anthem at the beginning of the ceremony.
Rep. Lida Harkins and Sen. Scott Brown's chief of staff were also on hand to celebrate and issue a citation from the State Senate commemorating the dedication.
"What unites us all is that this is a part of the 21st century," Harkins said. "I'm glad to know that the town of Needham has thought enough of their children to put the thought and time into this."
After the ceremony, residents had the opportunity to tour the school, view student art and multimedia exhibits, and listen to performances from choral and musical groups.
"It's beautiful without being overdone," Leslie Tillotson, the parent of a sophomore, said. "Like the cinderblocks in the gym. They're painted nice colors—but it's not the Taj Mahal."
Jean and Ken Wellington, class of 1969, agreed, and remembered what it was like to go to school while the D and E wings of the school were being built. For the couple, it was fun to come back and see how the school has changed over the years.
"They did a really nice job," Jean said. "It's really a 21st century school."
Gleaming hallways greet students and residents alike upon entering the newly-completed High School.
A sculpture exhibit, titled "Music of the Elements/Dance of Time" hangs in the lobby.
The sculptures were inspired by students and created by sculptor Joy Wulke.
Students have access to the lastest computer technology.
A state-of-the-art fitness center.
The media center allows students to create and edit their own TV shows.
I am the sister of Ken Wellington who was mentioned in the above article. I graduated Needham High in 1966 and we never had such digs. The world is a different place now.
As a former NHS graduate (1970), I must say I'm impressed with the visuals, more specifically the new Media and Fitness Center. Having graduated back when the new Science/Math wing (now demolished) was a year old, I have high expectaions that the new NHS graduates will have more opportunities and experiences the old alumnae could have only dreamed. I am proud of the new school, proud to be an alumnus and hopeful for the future graduates of the wonderful town of Needham.

The face of Juneau's picturesque waterfront could undergo big changes in the next several years.
Sound off on the important issues at
Officials say the city's downtown cruise ship dock needs major work and think replacement is more prudent than costly repairs.
But finding a plan the city and industry can agree upon, as well as how to fund the $40 million project, could take a while.
The city Docks and Harbors Board has created a plan to construct two floating berths 200 feet off the existing city-owned dock near Marine Park that could accommodate two Panamax cruise ships. As it is now, the city can accommodate one Panamax vessel - a classification of boats built to the maximum allowable dimensions to fit through the Panama Canal, or 965 feet - and one smaller cruise ship.
"We have been looking for years at how to increase the capacity, in terms of having two or three of those ships being able to dock at the same time," Docks and Harbors Board member Jim Preston said.
Several other plans also have been discussed, including constructing a $27 million dock near Gold Creek that would accommodate one Panamax vessel.
Before construction could begin, the project would have to go before various city committees and ultimately the Juneau Assembly, but the Docks and Harbors Board has said it would like the new docks to be ready for the 2010 season.
Bigger ships, bigger docks
When the downtown docks were built, it wasn't envisioned that the cruise ships mooring there would become so large, but now that the Panamax vessels are becoming the industry norm, the docks need to be upgraded, Preston said.
The wooden dock these large cruise ships are tying up to wasn't designed to accommodate such large vessels, Harbormaster Lou McCall said.
"The problem we have with the city dock, is when the cruise ships come in, over time they cause damage, and it costs a lot of money to refurbish those docks, more so than putting in what we have planned," he said.
A study was done earlier this year that contends the wooden pilings of the dock are rotting and weathering. They could cost the city more than $10 million to replace. Building a $40 million-plus metal dock would be considerably cheaper in the long run than continuing costs associated with maintaining or replacing the wooden pilings, McCall said.
"In a water environment, in a rain forest in freezing and thawing conditions, it's going to be a nonstop battle," he said.
North West Cruiseship Association President John Hansen said the industry agrees the city dock is in need of work, but said it is not yet sold on any particular plan.
"We think it's important to move forward with a project in the future. It will be needed in the future," he said. "The question is what is the best facility for the long term. We're anxious to work with the city."
Finding a way to pay
One of the big questions is how to fund the project. The Docks and Harbors Finance Committee approved a motion on Thursday night for a revised port improvement fee.
The proposal would increase the tonnage rate charged to vessels using the dock. If passed by the Docks and Harbors Board and then by the Juneau Assembly, the fee would increase from 5½ cents per net registered ton to 10 cents per ton in 2008. The fee would then go to 20 cents per ton in 2009 and further increase to 30 cents per ton in 2010.
Preston, the Finance Committee chairman, said a fee increase is needed to fund the project.
"The idea is, by the time the third year comes around, we will have built up a little nest egg to do more than talk about these improvements that are in the works," he said. "If we don't have the money, we can't do it."
Hansen said the cruise ship industry has concerns about the increased fees prior to having a firm grasp of how the money will be spent.
"We think it is better to have the plan first before starting to collect money," he said.
The plan presented by the city would essentially provide an increase of half a length of a cruise ship for a hefty price tag that the industry would ultimately pay, Hansen said.
"There certainly are some questions around it," he said. "It's very expensive."
Docks and Harbors Board member Budd Simpson said new docks would allow some of the cruise ships that are anchoring in Gastineau Channel to dock and passengers would not have to be lightered to shore. Constructing the new docks would not mean more boats on any given day, but would provide greater efficiency, he said.
"We're looking at the ease of access, getting a ship in and out and getting the passengers transferred safely and efficiently," he said.
That also could allow passengers to spend more time shopping, dining or going on shore excursions, Simpson said.
Growing security measures
Another factor for constructing new docks off the existing one is to address security regulations, Preston said. Since the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, the U.S. Coast Guard has implemented buffer areas around cruise ships and has partitioned off areas of the dock.
"If you're down there in the summer, more and more is getting taken away for security stuff, which we have no choice on," Preston said.
McCall said the Homeland Security restrictions seem to increase every year and there could very well be a day when the Coast Guard restricts even larger areas of the wharf. Constructing new docks would allow for more public access to the wharf, he said.
"It opens up the public dock and gives it back to the people, and to me, that's enough," McCall said.
Aaron Brakel, a Juneau resident who has been following the issue closely, said he is worried about how the new docks are going to look and that they could take away from the community.
"We have a tremendous treasure in our downtown dock," Brakel said. "You walk along that dock and it's open to the other side of the channel. It's a wonderful view and it's open to all of us."
New docks would allow greater access to the existing one during the summer, but it would be at the expense of losing the priceless view during the off-season, he said.
"The docks proposal is likely biting off more than the community is willing to chew," Brakel said.

News release prepared by: Erinn Barcomb-Peterson, 785-532-6415, firstname.lastname@example.com
Thursday, Sept. 3, 2009
MANHATTAN -- Leaders at Kansas State University's College of Engineering are pleased to hear that Kansas Gov. Mark Parkinson's goals for the state's engineering schools echo their own.
Parkinson recently told the Kansas Board of Regents that he wants more Kansas engineering schools ranked in the top 100 by U.S. News and World Report.
"The faculty, staff and students have recently released a new vision for the college," said John English, dean at K-State's College of Engineering. "We want to be a highly ranked college providing quality education within a research environment that develops engineering leaders to benefit society. This matches the governor's vision."
Having a world-class engineering program is essential to the companies who rely on K-State for many of their future employees and leaders, said Carl Ice, chairman of the corporate advisory board for K-State's College of Engineering and executive vice president of BNSF Railway.
"Businesses recognize that we need outstanding engineers to effectively compete in the global market, and we are finding them at Kansas State," he said. "We have been impressed by both the caliber of the programs at the College of Engineering and the bright, dedicated students. In fact, our positive experiences with Kansas State gave my company, BNSF, the confidence to partner with the College of Engineering to work on expanding the pipeline of future engineers through targeted science and engineering workshops."
Jarold Boettcher, a member of the Kansas Board of Regents and a K-State graduate in nuclear engineering, said, "All Kansans welcome the challenge to continuously improve our universities' academic programs and attain the recognition that is earned."
"Cerner has a history of hiring top talent from college campuses, and we've been impressed with the level of 'industry readiness' possessed by K-State engineering program graduates," said Mike Valentine, executive vice president at Cerner, a leading global health care company based in Kansas City, Mo. "K-State engineering graduates come to Cerner with the skills needed to thrive in the complex industries of health care and information technology. We commend K-State for the actions it's taking to build on this tradition of excellence and to further strengthen its engineering program into one of the best in the nation."
K-State's College of Engineering has a strong tradition of undergraduate engineering education. U.S. News and World Report currently lists the college as the 64th best undergraduate engineering program at schools where the doctorate is the highest degree. The magazine's rankings also show that among the Big 12 engineering programs, K-State is No. 4.
"Of course we are proud of our current rankings, but we believe, as Gov. Parkinson suggests, that we can do better by promoting our Communities of Excellence and great tradition of being student focused at the state's premiere land grant institution," English said.
The Communities of Excellence are technical areas in which K-State is targeting to be the best in the world, English said. Currently, some of these areas include biobased energy sources, renewable energy, health care and information technology. On the renewable energy front, the college is home to the Center for Sustainable Energy, which supports assistantships for projects related to enhancing research on renewable energy topics, and the Kansas Wind for Schools program, which supplies the state's K-12 schools with wind turbines for research.
"The new frontier of K-State engineering is to promote academic excellence by wrapping our great undergraduate tradition around evolving pods of research excellence in our current research and graduate programs, " English said.
The college already gives undergraduate students opportunities to conduct meaningful research with faculty mentors. This includes chemical engineering research in which a student is synthesizing new materials with possible applications in water softening, wastewater treatment and odor control. Another pair of students -- including a K-State freshman -- is designing a less expensive solar lantern for people living in sub-Saharan Africa.
English said that Sen. Steve Morris, the current Kansas Senate president, has engaged him and other deans of engineering at Kansas regents universities to determine the resources required to increase graduation by 50 percent, meeting the increasing demand for engineers.
"The deans of engineering at the University of Kansas, Wichita State University and I have a great working relationship, and we are working together with Sen. Morris to pursue opportunities for growth in stature, size and quality of our current infrastructures," English said.

The metahs -e command might fail if you encounter the following circumstances:
A hot-spare device encounters a problem, such as an induced error, when using the metaverify test utility.
Solaris Volume Manager software attempts to activate the hot spare when an error occurs on a metadevice. The hot spare is marked broken.
The system is brought down. The failed disk that contains the hot spare is replaced with a new disk at the same location.
When the system is booted, Solaris Volume Manager software does not recognize the new hot spare.
The metahs -e command is used to enable the hot spare on the new disk.
The following message is displayed:
WARNING: md: d0: open error of hotspare (Unavailable)
The failure occurs because the Solaris Volume Manager software does not internally recognize the new hot-spare disk that was swapped into the same physical location. The Solaris Volume Manager software continues to display the device ID of the disk that is no longer in the system.
This failure is not known to occur on a Photon or storage enclosures where the device number changes when a disk is replaced.
Workaround: Choose one of the following workarounds:
Follow these steps to update the device ID for the hot-spare disk in the Solaris Volume Manager state database:
Become superuser.
Type the following command to update the device ID for the hot-spare:
# metadevadm -u logical-device-name
Type the following command to make the new hot-spare disk available:
# metareplace -e logical-device-name
Follow these steps to manage hot spares and hot-spare pools on the system:
Become superuser.
Type the following command to delete the entry for the hot-spare slice:
# metahs -d hsphot-spare-pool-number logical-device-name
Type the following command to create a new entry for the hot-spare slice at the same location with the correct device ID:
# metahs -a hsphot-spare-pool-number logical-device-name
You cannot replace a failed drive with a drive that has been configured with the Solaris Volume Manager software. The replacement drive must be new to Solaris Volume Manager software. If you physically move a disk from one slot to another slot on a Photon, the metadevadm command fails. This failure occurs when the logical device name for the slice no longer exists. However, the device ID for the disk remains present in the metadevice replica. The following message is displayed:
Unnamed device detected. Please run 'devfsadm && metadevadm -r to resolve.
You can access the disk at the new location during this time. However, you might need to use the old logical device name to access the slice.
Workaround: Physically move the drive back to its original slot.
If you remove and replace a physical disk from the system, and then use the metarecover -p -d command to write the appropriate soft partition specific information to the disk, an open failure results. The command does not update the metadevice database namespace to reflect the change in disk device identification. The condition causes an open failure for each such soft partition that is built on top of the disk. The following message is displayed:
Open Error
Workaround: Create a soft partition on the new disk instead of using the metarecover command to recover the soft partition.
If the soft partition is part of a mirror or RAID 5, use the metareplace command without the -e option to replace the old soft partition with the new soft partition.
# metareplace dx mirror or RAID 5 old_soft_partition new_soft_partition

That said, he did argue fairly strongly that spending was not necessarily a good thing, and I am delighted he did. I wonder if he might consider being more direct on this matter? The state of mind of the world seems to me to be that "owning more things makes you happier", and I suspect he agrees with me that this is not the case. For one thing, the world clearly cannot support the demand that this would create were it to be universally adopted. As has been well argued elsewhere, there are two types of 'want' - that for necessities and that for objects that are there to bolster self-esteem. The latter class, of course, are ultimately unsatisfying. When we fall foul of this class of want we cause ourselves spiritual damage, or psychological damage - depending on your viewpoint. You can always try the Affluenza quiz...
The rise of poverty and unemployment, that I fear we shall see in the near future will almost certainly be different to anything that we have seen in history. The word-wide nature of the crash, combined with the limits to growth, will see a minority trying to hold on to their physical wealth. We shall probably also see a new class of impoverished former middle-classed workers. I would hope that a lead from the world's spiritual leaders might help us establish a more sensible future.
I am aware of the risks of recommending 'sensible' solutions.
The needs of all can easily be met, and yet we see people being run into the ground by the solutions preferred by the state. I recently had to break down the door of a friend of mine to find his dead body. John was a good man, who had been crushed and broken by the 'solution' to unemployment in this country. He had been put on invalidity years ago - not because he was incapable of physical work, but because it was deemed politically expedient. It was easier to pay him than to improve his literacy to a point where he was employable in one a modern job. Though I cannot prove it in his case, the statistics demonstrate the shortening of life of those on this kind of benefit.
The movement from an agricultural economy, through industrial to post-industrial has taken a couple of centuries in this country, and has been repeated more quickly elsewhere recently. This happened without being thought through. We can now look at the options and decide our future. The thing that we all need is food. It would surely be sensible to move to a more agrarian society, where our needs for work and fulfillment are directly associated with the fundamental need to eat. This is surely a more sustainable and sound future than manufacturing more cars.
We have arrived where we are through a series of cock-ups, let us now conspire to get out of the situation - by being sensible.
Once again, I'll close with the quote from Farewell to Kings...
When they turn the pages of history
When these days have passed long ago
Will they read of us with sadness
For the seeds that we let grow
We turned our gaze
From the castles in the distance
Eyes cast down
On the path of least resistance
