Well suited for both urban and rural sites, CornerHouse promotes passive solar heating and natural ventilation with its large veranda and glazed wall on the building's corner. Like The Dogtrot Mod, the CornerHouse cladding and roof system are integral to the building's performance, deflecting direct heat gain in the warmer months and lengthening the life span of materials through proper ventilation.
In layout, an open floor plan on the first level with a shared living, dining, and kitchen space gives the interior a sense of grandeur while minimizing the building's overall footprint. Upstairs, as second porch is shared between the master bedroom and an office, which can easily be converted to a third bedroom.

The Sound of Music jog:
Discovered a new form of jogging today. It was another sunny spring morning so instead of running around the edge, zigging through daffodil clumps huffing and wondering when I could stop, I ran down grassy slope through centre of park to the river, arms out to side, Sound-of-Music-like. There aren't many people around at that time of the morning, and I didn't sing. Perhaps I'll wear frock tomorrow, though.
Partner pointed this article out to me yesterday, said I should read it. Thanks. It's John Walsh talking about his stint chairing a one day seminar called How to Get Published at the London Book Fair.
The meanies of the Independent make you pay £1 to read it but I wouldn't bother. He was saying basically all these people on his course were deluding themselves and didn't have a hope in hell. Yes it is really, really hard to get published these days, and was in any other day. And some of those people probably couldn't write for toffee, but others probably could. And it's true that of the books that are published a high percentage of those authors will have a marketing gimmiky thing that publishers love like being a footballer or a model or something, and a large chunk will be journalists and magazine editors. That probably leaves about 20% of the spaces left for the rest of us. It's best to know that being able to write isn't enough. That is assumed. It's finding an original angle, identifying a genre before it's happened, but not too soon because the publishers won't have seen it, it's all that kind of stuff that probably gives the best odds. It's a painful time, in between deciding to give it a go and getting that first contract.
I've been editing all day, deleting each scene and tagging it with a summary so that I can move them all around and delete a lot of them. There are far too many at the moment and I need to identify the ones that move the story forward, that have something to say and junk the rest.
My favourite rediscovered note of the day:
The smell of France: "Gauloise, slumberous sauces, scented flesh and opulent farmlands."
The smell of Spain: "the salt of dried fish, some wine and sickness, stone and thorn, old horses and rotting leather, the whiff of rags and woodsmoke."
Laurie Lee:
I am going to try and do something on Greece. As can't nip over to Hydra for mini-break, and even local restaurant is out at the moment, will have to rely on memory: hotel full of furred up Russian mafia, hundreds of Greek hairdressers on annual convention blocking the lifts, kids club losing daughter, rain.
Bye bye, thanks for visiting, come again soon.

Tropical Dawn
Lihir Island, PNG
Whilst I do have a number of nice purple & violet flower photos, I decided to be a bit more adventureous for my first submission for Photo Friday, a nifty net-based weekly photo challenge. You see a lot of those who had submitted before me had posted flower photos, so I wanted something different and then I remember some lovely delicately coloured dawns back up on lihir.

What is Social Security?
Social Security (also know as FICA- Federal Insurance Contributions Act) and Medicare are U.S. government programs that provide benefits for U.S. citizens and U.S permanent residents, usually for retirement. It is financed by taxes withheld from the paychecks of working people. F-1 or J-1 students and scholars who are "non-residents for tax purposes" are not required to pay these taxes. See the IRS Publication 519, to determine if you are
considered a resident or non-resident for tax purposes.
J-2 dependents and F-1 and J-1's who have become "residents for tax purposes," are required to pay in to Social Security and Medicare taxes. If Social Security and Medicare taxes are withheld from your paycheck in error, you can obtain a refund by following the instructions in IRS Publication 519.
What is a Social Security Card?
A Social Security card is required for everyone who works in the U.S., even non-immigrants. On the card, will be a unique Social Security Number (SSN) that you will keep for life. You will need the number for many purposes in the U.S. including employment and paying taxes. A Social Security card is not a work permit. Visit the Social Security Administration's web site for more information at http://www.ssa.gov/
Who is eligible to apply for a Social Security Number?
- F-1 students with a job offer letter and/or work permission
- J-1 students with a job offer and a work permission from their DS-2019 sponsor
- J-1 visiting scholars
- J-2 dependents with work permission from the USCIS (EAD)
- Individuals with other types of immigration status allowing employment
Note: F-2 dependents are not eligible for Social Security Numbers
A SSN is issued once per lifetime. If you have previously had a SSN, but do not have the card or do not remember the number, you can apply for a duplicate card if you meet the eligibility requirements above.
When to Apply for a Social Security Number
Applications made too early may be rejected or delayed beyond the usual processing time. Students and visiting scholars must be physically present in the U.S. to apply for an SSN. The Social Security Administration (SSA) is required to verify your legal entry into the U.S. before issuing an SSN. You must wait at least 10 days after entering or re-entering the US to apply in order for your admission record to be verified.
F-1 and J-1 Students
- New students must wait at least 10 days after being registered full-time and after the first day of classes (both must be true)
- Registered students can apply no more than 30 days before:
- F-1 On-campus employment start date on the offer letter
- F-1 Curricular Practical Training (CPT) start date on their I-20
- J-1 On-campus employment start date on the J-1 On-Campus Authorization Form
- Students on post-completion training can apply no earlier than:
- F-1 Optional Practical Training (OPT) start date on their Employment Authorization Document (EAD)
- J-1 30 days before the Academic Training start date on their DS-2019
J-1 Scholars
New J-1 visiting scholars must wait at least ten business days after entering the U.S and the submission of the "Scholar Arrival Notification" form to Berkeley International Office (both must be true).
J-2 Dependents
J-2 dependents must have Employment Authorization Document (EAD), and can apply for the SSN no earlier than the start date of the EAD.
Working While Awaiting an SSN
You may work while the Social Security number application is being processed. There is no provision in the law that requires employers to have their employees' SSNs before hiring them. There is no provision that prohibits an employee from beginning work if he or she has not yet obtained an SSN. However, you must have employment authorization from your program sponsor or the USCIS before you begin working.
Social Security Number Safety
Although a SSN is only meant to be used for tax and government purposes, it is often used by financial institutions, businesses, and others as a unique identification number. Because the SSN is a unique ID, it is often the target of "identity theft". Therefore you should be very careful about where and to whom you give your SSN.
- Never carry your Social Security card or number with you. Keep it at home in a secure place.
- Only give your SSN to someone who has a specific and legitimate need for it.
- Be very careful with any forms, applications or other materials that may have your SSN on it.
- Never give your SSN to someone who phones you. You should initiate the call or meet in person.
- Never reply to email or web sites that request a SSN.
Business Uses for Social Security Numbers
Most businesses do not need a SSN from you unless it is for credit purposes (loans, credit cards, cell phone companies etc.) If a business requests a SSN solely for ID purposes, you can request that the business create an ID for you. You do not need a SSN to open bank accounts. If a bank clerk insists on a SSN, ask to speak to a manager.

The Killing Joke
Let's GO FOR IT
I mean, c'mon Colangelo. What are you doing here? Look at the FA market. You had Tyson Chandler, you had David West. Hell, we could've traded for Chris Paul and even D12.
What about Thad Young and Caron Butler? Aren't those solutions to play SF on this team? Why aren't you amenstying Jose Calderon already? What are you waiting for Colangelo. Seriously, it's like you don't even have a plan in place any more. You're just going for the worst possible players and hoping that we can win and save MLSE some money. Didn't you learn anything from when we had Chris Bosh? Remember trading for JO? Remember how many game we won? And how signing Turkoglu? Remember how we were already planning the parade route? We had the guy who could help us beat Orlando! Orlando! We were well on our way! And just as I'm writing this I see that Agent Zero is FA! Colangelo, c'mon, he'd be the PG we always needed. He can score, scream Hibachi, teach big Ed how to shoot and would allow us to market this team more! We'd be the EIGHTH SEED! EIGHTH SEED Colangelo! Wake up Bryan. What are we paying you for? I didn't want Casey. Should've paid for JVG! Bah!!!!!! |

If you're familiar to Claudius, it's pretty obvious that he was being sacrastic.
He has a point though. Rebuilding is all a process, why try and speed things up only to risk starting all over again in a few years? We have some good pieces in place already. Let's wait it out and see what these guys can do before rushing out and spending all our money on the FA market. |

Issue No. 03 - May/June (2004 vol. 19)
pp: 31-33
DOI Bookmark: http://doi.ieeecomputersociety.org/10.1109/MIS.2004.11
Michel Klein , Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
Ubbo Visser , University of Bremen
For several years now, the Semantic Web's promise has been exciting computer science researchers. With the publication of futuristic scenarios in Scientific American, we all know what kind of dreams could eventually become true. However, what's the status nowadays? What kind of things can be realized with today's techniques? How far are we from realizing the dream? Are we moving in the suggested direction? Are any Semantic Web applications out yet?
Those questions were the direct reason for starting a Semantic Web Challenge. "Show us what kind of application you can create with today's Semantic Web techniques" was the challenge we proposed to both academic researchers and people from industry. Many research results were already available when we started the challenge. They involve language design, storage systems, and ontology modeling. However, there weren't yet attractive, integrated examples of what the Semantic Web could provide.
The challenge's aim is twofold. First, it should help researchers show our society what kind of applications the Semantic Web can provide. Second, the competition should be fun for researchers and stimulate their creativity. The first edition of the challenge was in the fall of 2003. The plan is to continue for at least five years. Each year will focus on a different specific goal reflecting Semantic Web developments at the time.
For such a contest, we first needed to define what a Semantic Web application actually is. After discussion with several experts, we formulated a set of minimal requirements. First, the application must use information sources that
• Are geographically distributed.
• Have diverse ownerships—that is, there's no control of evolution.
• Are heterogeneous (syntactically, structurally, and semantically).
• Contain real-world data—that is, the sources must be more than toy examples.
Second, the application must assume an open world; that is, it assumes that the information is never complete. Third, the application must use some formal description of the data's meaning.
Besides these minimal criteria, we determined several desirable qualities. The application should use data sources for other purposes or in another way than originally intended. It also should use the contents of multimedia documents. Users should be able to access the application in multiple languages or with devices other than a PC. The application should exploit both static and dynamic knowledge—for example, a combination of static ontologies and dynamic workflows. Finally, the application should be scalable (in terms of the amount of data used and of distributed components working together).
The 2003 Challenge
The specific challenge for 2003 was to apply Semantic Web techniques to build an online application that deduces, combines, and integrates information to help users perform tasks. A specific requirement was to incorporate at least two heterogeneous XML data or information sources that aren't controlled by the application's authors and that allow different viewpoints.
Procedure and Evaluation
All submitted applications had to be described by a short paper and be accessible online. We evaluated them with the help of the Semantic Web Challenge Advisory Board, whose background varied from machine learning to knowledge representation. At least three reviewers evaluated each application according to the minimal criteria and desirable qualities. In addition, evaluators could give extra points for any notable feature that the criteria or qualities didn't cover (for example, easy access or a nice user interface).
The 10 applications we received are diverse both geographically and organizationally. They come from different types of organizations (companies, research organizations, and universities) in six different countries (Japan, Taiwan, the US, the Netherlands, the UK, and Germany).
The submissions' application domains are also diverse: environmental data, scientific publications in medicine, earthquake data, Web logs, bioinformatics, news, and computer science research. Most applications aim to coherently present information from different sources to users. Some applications provide additional help for this in the form of a query interface.
The submissions use a vast amount of data that are surprisingly diverse. One example is the application from National Taiwan University's Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering. Their application integrates eight bioinformatics Web information sources to provide an integrated tool for single-nucleotide polymorphism analysis. These Web-based information sources are geographically distributed (in five countries, three continents) and have diverse ownership. They're heterogeneous in all aspects and contain real-world data or provide real-world services.
Another example is the application from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory at the California Institute of Technology. It integrates earth science knowledge from various sources, including available gazetteers, earthquake data from the US Geological Survey, US Central Intelligence Agency databases on countries, and geographic polygons.
The submissions also show different data acquisition strategies. Several applications use ready-made RSS (RDF Site Summary) feeds from Web logs and news sites, some crawl the Web and extract data from HTML pages, and others interpret existing databases. Also, some applications use email message archives and existing online RDF descriptions. Although the submissions use many different sources, they can incorporate only a minority of these sources automatically. Most sources require manually formulated translations.
The Winners
The competition was close; ranking the applications was difficult. However, the jury agreed on these winners:
First place went to CS AKTive Space, from the University of Southampton. This application provides a way to explore the UK computer science research domain across multiple dimensions for multiple stakeholders, from funding agencies to individual researchers.
Second place went to SECO ( semantic collaboration), from the University of Southern California's Information Sciences Institute. This application enables collaboration in online communities. It collects RDF data from the Web, stores it in an index, and makes it accessible via a Web interface.
Third place went to AnnoTerra, from Science Systems & Applications. This application presents enhanced earth science news feeds by making focused semantic searches on NASA knowledge catalogs using concepts and relationships from the earth science domain.
The other applications appearing in this issue deal with semantic portals (SEAL), provide access to multiple information sources in the area of life sciences (DOPE), integrate satellite images to locate buildings (BuildingFinder), and integrate heterogeneous information sources with respect to distinct thematic topics, namely urban and environmental planning, tourism, labor, and education (GeoShare).
Most of the applications can be accessed and used online via http://challenge.semanticweb.org.
The challenge's results lead us to several conclusions. First, and probably the most important, there are Semantic Web applications that can be used already or that are about to become a product.
Second, the submitted applications all use heterogeneous sources and standard languages (XML, RDF, and OWL), and meet the minimal requirements. In general, they use relatively straightforward ontologies. Most of these ontologies define concepts and subclass relations between them, but some also specify other relations between the concepts and further characteristics of these relations. For most of these ontologies, RDF Schema provides sufficient representation; OWL's additional expressivity isn't required. About half of the ontologies were specifically created for the applications; the other half are reused. Few of the ontologies contain more than 100 concepts. Most of the ontologies function as a schema for the data, while others guide the user in selecting or finding information. The important outcome is that all the applications use simple ontologies.
What does this mean? Are these applications only shallow examples of what we can expect in the future? Another explanation is quite simple: most ontologies that will be accessible over the Internet will be shallow; they'll be mostly taxonomies. This could be sufficient for most applications, and—to be a bit more provocative—this could be the future of ontologies for the Semantic Web. The next Semantic Web Challenges will monitor the development of this issue, among others.
Third, we see that several applications already exist that use the Semantic Web infrastructure to help users interpret and collect information. Some of these require manual translation of data, but some applications work directly with data available in the RDF format. Up to now, the infrastructure's reasoning capabilities haven't seen much use because most ontologies are relatively simple. The future will reveal whether this will change.
How far are we from realizing the dream? Judge for yourself! This issue of IEEE Intelligent Systems presents seven state-of-the-art Semantic Web applications, their goals, the underlying techniques, and their pros and cons. Do you think you can do it better? There's a new challenge in 2004: see http://challenge.semanticweb.org!

Contact Us2005 Romanee St-Vivant J.J. Confuron
Red | For laying down | Domaine J. Confuron | Code: 904662 | 2005 | Pinot Noir | Full Bodied, Dry | 13.0 % alcohol
Eligible for storage in our Bonded Warehouses, terms and conditions apply. See Further Details
The Producer
There are two main branches of the family. Jean Confuron (1904-1965) married a girl from Prémeaux, whither he moved. Domaine Jean-Jacques Confuron continues under the name of his son, Jean-Jacques (1929-1983) who married Andrée Noëllat, and run today by the latter's daughter Sophie and son-in-law Alain Meunier. Another son, Christian, set up in Vougeot, where his son is now in charge.
The Grape
Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or.
Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.
Because of the thinness of the skins, Pinot Noir wines are lighter in colour, body and tannins. However the best wines have grip, complexity and an intensity of fruit seldom found in wine from other grapes. Young Pinot Noir can smell almost sweet, redolent with freshly crushed raspberries, cherries and redcurrants. When mature, the best wines develop a sensuous, silky mouth feel with the fruit flavours deepening and gamey "sous-bois" nuances emerging.
The best examples are still found in Burgundy, although Pinot Noir`s key role in Champagne should not be forgotten. It is grown throughout the world with notable success in the Carneros and Russian River Valley districts of California, and the Martinborough and Central Otago regions of New Zealand.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Habs go gently into that good night versus Predators
by The Upper Canadien on 11/19/10 at 12:59 AM ET
Comments (1)
Not a great game for the Habs this evening, as they were blanked by the Predators 3-0. But hey, it happens. Nice to see Francis Bouillon tally two assists and get second star. Also nice to see Sergei "The Mobster" Kostitsyn get roundly booed each time he touched the puck.
My big takeaway from this game? Jarosalv Spacek looked lost. He was reasonably good for a brief few games, because his ice time was down in the wake of the return of #79. But with the absence of Markov, Spacek is being relied on for too many minutes, and his age is showing. He was out of position on two goals, and it was glaringly obvious. Not to mention he missed a perfect chance in close to score early on in the game.
Spacek is a 15 minute defenceman now, a solid #4 or 5. Unfortunately, he's being paid like a #2 or a 3. He's a Janne Niinnima for the 2010s. Ryan O'Byrne has stepped in admirably for the Colorado Avalanche. With his size and strength, I really believe he would be a better fit on this defence. But no one was going to take Spacek's enormous $3.8 million salary, with another year left on the contract. Pierre Gauthier couldn't give Spacek away right now (of note, for those who didn't see the game, Spacek injured himself late while delivering a hit and did not return).
The other takeaway? Carey Price is tired. But he should be, after starting 18 of 19 games. Luckily tomorrow is an off day, and then it's the Leafs on Saturday.
Oh, and Pekka Rinne is very, very good.
Looking ahead
Will recent call-up Yanick Weber, he of eight goals and the league lead among defencemen in the AHL, be inserted into the lineup Saturday night versus Toronto? Does Jacques Martin have the chutzpah, as Mordecai Richler used to say, to sit Spacek for a game? He threatened to earlier in the year, but it has yet to happen. He may have no choice if Spacek proves to be hurt. And with all this free cap space, are the Canadiens going to make a move? Things continue to be interesting for Les Glorieux.

It doesn't matter how many shots you take. If you don't have traffic in front of the net and players crashing the net causing chaos then an AHL goalie can stop 40 shots from an NHL team. Too many players skating around the net and this team is going to keep encountering "HOT" goalies. Nut up, or shut up. CRASH THE NET Montreal.

French Connected: Sherry Horst, chef de cuisine, brings exquisite salads and desserts to life on colorful dishes.
Tasteful Fixations
In the evolving East Main Street neighborhood of Los Gatos a decorator bistro caters to those in need of beautiful food
By Christina Waters
JOINED AT THE WELL-TURNED hip with its Gallic decorating depot next door, A Matter of Taste is easily one of the best-looking spots in Los Gatos. The word "tasteful" barely covers the sense of being in a carefully crafted, yet not overworked, interior, clearly inspired by French attitudes and aesthetics. A Matter of Taste specializes in lunches that look even better than they taste. That word again: taste. The chalkboard bill of fare--offering handmade soups, artistic salads and sinful desserts--shares the spotlight with orchids: a botanical garden of them on the front counter and a bloom sprouting from glazed pots at each table. Hardwood floors match the vintage of the historic brick walls. Colorful Soleido prints cover the round tables and a massive framed mirror catches all the conversational action in the tiny dining room. Lined with antique screens and bold French liqueur posters, this is a highly and warmly decorated interior. The perfect setting for winning service and impeccable food presentation.
From a long list of designer mineral waters, I spied my all-time favorite, Badoit, and pounced. Suzanne, my lunch companion, was amused at the idea of so many aquatic choices, but I was thrilled to find the tiny bubbles and faintly mineral flavor of the water that had seen me through many visits to Provençe.
Each and every dish served looked wonderful, and arrived on some wonderful piece of unusual and sunny pottery. A persimmon-hued ceramic dish, for example, held the day's special cauliflower soup. The bowl sat on yet another pretty plate decorated with lustrous lemon leaves, the décor du jour, it seemed. The soup was wonderful--tiny florets bobbed in a delicious broth; not the thick purée I'd expected ($5). Suzanne had to agree it was great, but saved her appetite for an entree sandwich of heroic proportions, something called Chicken Confit ($13) which actually wasn't confit but turned out to be a francese roll filled with grilled chicken breast, brie, spinach and caramelized onions. Suzanne found the toasted bread a bit overly charred; in addition to the high-calorie creaminess, the dish had been doused with additional hollandaise, and it was impossible to negotiate without oozing everywhere.
My crab cake salad ($15) arrived looking like an Aztec pyramid made of baby lettuces and edible flowers. Under the pile of greens, bathed with a strong-tasting vinaigrette dijonnaise, was a harmless, lukewarm crab cake. It contained lavish quantities of sweet Dungeness crabmeat, but the desired tang of deviled breading was absent. Unfortunately, what this generous entree did contain--abundantly--was a helping of cream sauce that did nothing to enhance either crab cake or greens. What I wanted was fewer greens, less dressing and a crisper, hotter crab cake, not more cream sauce.
A Matter of Taste positively excels in delectable housemade desserts, as we quickly discovered when we joined tiny Illy Caffe espressos with a very warm olallieberry cobbler ($7) and a textbook crème brûlée ($7). The cobbler came on a deco yellow dish with fluted edges and was powered to tart, berry glory by a scoop of vanilla bean gelato. Suzanne sighed over her dessert, served on an embossed, square white plate, decorated with lemon leaves, tiny kumquats and a single, perfect olallieberry. The sheer attractiveness of these desserts was undeniably part of their charm, but they were utterly delicious as well. Almost nothing this side of sex is as luscious in the noontime as the forbidden favors of a warm crème brûlée, with its crisp, burnt sugar topping and rich, custardy interior. But the cobbler, actually more of a thick tart filled with berries and walnuts, was at least as good. The small appealing touches, like smartly chosen serving ware and bright orange kumquats, all show the care that goes into presentation at A Matter of Taste. While I found the gratuitous presence of cream sauces a minus, there is much to admire at this Los Gatos cafe.

We owe all the wonderful aspects of modern marriage to one thing: divorce.
You will hear just the opposite, of course. Religious fundamentalists and politicians will tell you that divorce is crumbling our society, ruining children's lives, and weakening the moral character of the nation. Don't listen to them. They know perfectly well why divorce is a good thing, they just don't want you to ever find out.
Divorce means choice. Divorce means that two people do not have to remain bound to each other until the grave, as society dictated until the 20th century. Divorce means that human beings can determine the path their life will take. And at its very root, divorce provides for that most crucial, most valuable of human experiences: happiness.
Divorce is also the great equalizer, and the hallmark of a truly advanced society in terms of women's rights. No woman can ever claim to feel "like property" or "subjugated by men" where are there are equitable divorce laws in place. When we look back at ancient civilizations, the ones that stand out are the ones like ancient Egypt which provided equitable treatment for women and the accessibility of divorce as a way to end a legal marriage. Even in the modern world, the best countries for women are those that allow them to divorce freely and without social stigma.
But the freedom to live your life how you please, without affecting how others live theirs, is something that a great number of people don't want you to have. Religions in particular seem devoted to making sure that you don't live how you please, that your every action is analyzed and criticized and ultimately judged. Whether it's a stern and moralistic God or a harsh and judgmental society you claim as your higher power, be aware that both of them have one central belief at their core: personal happiness is bad, and personal choice is worse.
The Catholic Church, for example, maintains that if you marry someone while your first spouse is still alive, you are committing adultery and will go to Hell. You are not allowed to put aside one spouse and find another, no matter what the reason. They don't like the idea of your having sex with more than one person in your life, even if you want to marry each person that you have it with.
Or do they?
If your spouse dies they have put no such hex on you. Widows and widowers are given the full blessing of the church to marry again. The limit seems to be three marriages, although I'm not sure how stringently this rule is applied. It may be that the widowed are allowed to marry as often as they wish. But even if the church absolutely forbids a widowed person from re-marrying more than twice, it still means that the church would rather sanction your having sexual relations with three people in your life, rather than let you be married to two if the first one is merely divorced from you.
It's adultery and fornication if you divorce one spouse and remarry even once, but legitimate carnal relations if you marry three times because the other two died. This can't possibly indicate a desire to limit the number of sexual partners you have, or to stamp out the "sin" of sex.
I couldn't understand this breach in logic. As much as I disagree with the premise, if you're going to claim that all sex outside the bonds of your first marriage is sinful, then surely you have to call the widowed "fornicators" too, as much as the divorced are. But the church doesn't. And for years, neither did the public at large. Widowed people were pitied but respected. Divorced people caused scandal, were looked down upon by "respectable people", were shunned and considered morally bankrupt.
Now I know why.
It's a question of choice, of volition, a unique human quality.
The church, and society, simply wouldn't allow you to exercise your volition beyond that first choice of partner you made... a choice, by the way, that was often made for you by your parents and had nothing to do with what you wanted. Nothing would justify wanting to make another choice later in life. Only God could do that, it seems. If God took your partner away from you, you had no choice in that, and therefore, you were allowed to choose again. If God decided to take that spouse from you too, that wasn't your choice either. As long as you yourself weren't thinking and choosing and making your own decisions about your life, the church would be lenient on you. The minute you decided to affect change in your own life, to undo something you regretted doing or something that no longer served a purpose in your life, you were branded a "sinner".
So for centuries, miserably married people could only find freedom in the grave. Many people killed their mates to be free of them. It was not uncommon for aristocrats, attempting to climb the social ladder, to arrange for their no-longer-advantageous spouses to fall down stairs or eat poisoned meat so that they, the aristocrats, could marry someone higher up in the echelon of the nobility. For those without the stomach for murder, there was no option. There may have been unofficial separations as there are today, but the medieval mind was so accustomed to accepting discomfort and sacrifice that most unhappily married people stayed together because they felt it was their lot in life to suffer. It's a sentiment that carried through to our grandparents, and even our parents to some extent, many of whom lived out lives of unhappiness and dissatisfaction, bound for life to someone that contributed to the misery of their life, all under the guise of respecting the "sanctity" of wedlock.
It was only when people started believing that their happiness was more important than a vow to God, that they had choice in life and were free to make choices responsibly, that marriage was a voluntary, mutually agreed upon partnership of respect and love that could dissolve if that love and respect disappeared...it was only then that people started seeing marriage as an expression of joy and started enjoying the marriages they had.
There is nothing sacred about a loveless marriage. What's sacred is having the freedom to enjoy the best kind of marriage possible, the kind freely entered into by two people who understand that it could end if they neglect or abuse their partner, or that it could last a lifetime if they both want it to. What's sacred is knowing that a satisfying, happy marriage is always possible, no matter who you find yourself with at the moment or how many times you've tried to make it work and failed. What's sacred is saying to yourself, and your children, that happiness in love is a crucial component of a healthy life, that sacrificing that happiness for some fuzzy morality is an insult to the human mind.
People who divorce and remarry respect the institution of marriage, and respect themselves. As difficult as divorce may be, as painful and unpleasant as it may be, it is necessary to preserve the essential beauty of marriage. People are much more likely to respect and honor each other, to stay in love, when they know that if they don't earn their partners' love and admiration, constantly, their marriage could end. People who are bound, inextricably, to each other for life have no incentive to be good to each other.
Children and Divorce
But what about the children?
It's a cry we hear constantly, in protest against everything from adult sites on the internet to garbage dumps to government cutbacks. Future generations, it seems, are far, far more important than this one. But I digress. I have discussed the issue of children and their relationship to marriage in a separate page.
Yes, children are often hurt by divorce. Yes, it can be painful for a child to see his parents split up. But I believe it is far more damaging for an adult to have grown up in a household where love has disappeared from his parents' marriage, and therefore the only experience he has with it is that it's a doomed institution, a miserable partnership, something he never expects will give him joy.
One of the biggest mistakes parents make in child rearing is in putting their marriage last. It is imperative that you put your marriage first, not only for yourselves, but also for your children. Show your children what a marriage is, what they can expect and look forward to when they grow up. Show them a couple who are deeply in love and committed to each other, show them a man and woman enjoying being in love, respecting each other, living with each other, loving each other. If they see this, they will want and expect this for themselves. They will know what a good relationship is, and won't get drawn into bad ones.
So what happens if you aren't that blissful couple? What happens if you don't love each other, if your marriage isn't good? Then is that something you want your children to emulate? Even if your partner is the best parent in the world, it will do your child a great disservice if the two of you fight and hurt each other and then turn around and behave sweetly to your child. It will make your child feel uncomfortable, like they are somehow usurping love from one of their parents. Children plainly understand that their parents are supposed to be in love. It's what assures them that when they grow up they'll be in love as well. If you don't have a loving model to show your children, you are doing them no favors by staying married. Divorce. Separate yourselves from each other, and continue to be good, if separate, parents. Marry again, choosing carefully, so that your children can see that it' s alright to want happiness for yourself and to go after it. Show them it's alright to leave one marriage if it's bad and start another one that's better. Give them some idea of what to expect for their own happiness in the future.
Divorce isn't easy. And naturally a happy marriage is preferable to divorce any day. I don't blame anyone for being afraid of divorce or for not wanting their marriage to end. But if we really want to understand what makes free, unfettered, romantic marriage possible, we have to embrace that which makes it possible, and give it the quiet respect it deserves.

Health information obesity: the new epidemic? is a free talk organised by the Career Development Group, Yorkshire and Humberside Division in collobaration with the University of Sheffield's iSchool. The speaker is Vicky Grant.
Date: Thursday 24th May. Time: 4:00 - 5:30pm. Venue: 1st floor conference room in ICOSS, 219 Portobello, Sheffield University, Sheffield, S1 4DP
Register via Eventbrite http://healthinformation.eventbrite.co.uk/ Vicky Grant is the Faculty Librarian for Medicine, Dentistry and Health at the UoS. In this talk, she will look at how patients are using health information from the net and will question the validity of government initiatives to give patients more information. She will argue that what patients actually need is more equitable access to medical research and improved levels of information literacy, including the skills to think critically about the health information they are reading. She will ask you to consider whether open access and open data publishing are matters of medical ethics and will argue that more equitable access to health information could challenge the health inequalities which continue to pervade our society.

More than 12,000 people signed our petition on Syria for Ban Ki-moon.
Our CEO, Barbara Stocking, took your signatures to Ban, the UN Secretary General. Barbara says: "I raised our concerns about the safety and security of the people of Syria, and told him that many people in the UK were very concerned, and that 12,000 people had responded to our call to action."
We know that the United Nations continues to work hard on the Syria issue, and your support helps increase their credibility.
Unfortunately, the situation hasn't improved greatly. Tens of thousands of men women and children are still displaced. And in parts of Syria, deadly violence continues despite the 'ceasefire.' The need for real peace and the protection of civilians is as great as ever.
Conflicts like this are fuelled by the easy availability of small arms and ammunition. As Jeff Abramson, Director of Control Arms Secretariat, says, "It is beyond unacceptable that the world cannot agree that weapons should no longer be flowing to governments like that of Syria." One way you can help try to improve the situation in Syria is to support an international Arms Trade Treaty to control the arms used to fuel conflicts like this one.
We'll keep you updated as the situation develops.

As one who spent a 40-year teaching career wrestling with the A-level conundrum, I thought Richard Garner's piece "Adding stars just isn't enough" (Education, 19 August) was spot on.
The A-level cries out for reform and this year's fiasco could provide the final shove. Leaving aside the debate as to whether A-levels have been "dumbed down", it is surely irrefutable that grade inflation over the last 20 years has landed all concerned in a morass. As W S Gilbert said, "When everybody's somebody, then no-one's anybody". A system that disables universities from selecting students whose abilities are suited to its courses is plumb crazy, and only a nation that is heading nowhere fast would continue to tolerate it.
Three easily achievable changes would suffice.
Criterion referencing should be replaced by norm referencing, A-grades being restricted to the top, say, 10 per cent of candidates.
AS-levels (and modules) should be abolished (as Michael Gove apparently wishes), thus freeing the summer term in the lower sixth for teaching.
The A-level (and GCSE if we must continue with it) should be examined in March, with results published by the end of June. This change would allow five and a half terms in teaching time for the A-level, ample time for the "deep thought" now deemed desirable. Students would leave school after Easter and spend their summer doing voluntary work, work experience, internships or the proposed national service, while being available for university interviews after 1 July.
In addition to their pedagogical desirability, these reforms would achieve considerable savings in examining and clearing costs.

Your editorial attitude to the A-level results (leading article, 19 August) evokes an academic elitism reminiscent of the denigration of the 11-plus. If students don't get a university place, you imply they are lesser mortals. Not so.
Three years' "book-learning" and a debt of £25,000 cannot be the only way forward after success at A-level (of whatever grade, or whatever standard). Teachers, the academic mafia, parents and the media need to support and encourage the funding of other ways to a fulfilling and productive life. The skills gained through apprenticeships and practical job-based learning are desperately needed now and for the foreseeable future. The universities do not have all the expertise and certainly have no right to all the funds in developing young people after A-level.

I was surprised that Mary Dejevsky made no mention of selection when discussing independent schools and the A* grades ("A grades that money can buy", 20 August).
Of course they will have a higher percentage of A* students, as they have brighter students. They selected them on much stricter academic criteria than the state schools. They even have the option of "suggesting" that they "might like to attend a local state school" if the pupil turns out to be not quite as bright as the independent school had anticipated. The state school then takes them on, to the detriment of its statistics and a boost to the independent school's.

I am very disappointed by the photograph illustrating your Education page on 19 August: the cliché of pretty white girls celebrating their A-level results. We are given this year after year, ignoring the fact that many candidates are not photogenic, are not white, are not female and may have nothing to celebrate.

Daily diet of xenophobia
John Rees (Letters, 16 August) asks why Britain treats foreign visitors with an "island mentality" and why we haven't joined the Schengen Area. I think he is being disingenuous. One need only pick up the average British tabloid newspaper, to realise the overwhelming xenophobia inbuilt into our populist politics.
In fact, I'm surprised that the drip-drip of hate, dressed up as "genuine debate about immigration", that is peddled daily hasn't led to stricter, more draconian attitudes prevailing at the UK Border Agency. Perhaps it is a testament to the British people, the majority of whom seem unswayed by the daily diet of xenophobia, that it hasn't happened, yet.

The letter by John Rees beggars belief. He was obviously very pleased that he could travel from distant eastern Europe to France without showing his passport and then disappointed that he then had to show it to enter the UK.
Well, just for once, good on the UK immigration people. If Mr Rees can travel so easily across Europe, then so can criminals and potential illegal immigrants. Everybody wishing to enter the UK should have to show a passport, as should anyone entering any other country in the world, for that matter.

Are others also concerned at David Cameron's warm support to admit Turkey into the EU? I am no EU supporter and enjoy holidays in Turkey as much as the next man but Turkey is hardly in Europe; geographically, it is in Asia with a tiny European appendage.
What concerns me more is the effects of a Muslim population of 80 million and its uncontrolled borders with Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iran, Iraq and Syria, and the implications this will have on further limitless migration into Britain from the EU. If Turkey were to join the EU, the salaries and social advantages offered here would attract millions under the free movement within the EU.
There is already enough tension and resentment surrounding Islamic terrorists, so why take the risk? Cyprus remains unresolved as does the treatment of the Greeks, Armenians and Kurds, and none of this is ancient history.

The job we had to do in Iraq
Now that we are being absolutely clear about why we are leaving Iraq (Job done! – Handing over power!) let us be equally clear why we went there in the first place.
We invaded Iraq to get rid of al-Qa'ida and arrest Osama Bin Laden. No, wait, we invaded Iraq to get rid of Saddam Hussein. No, sorry, we invaded Iraq to bring democracy. No – to protect the citizens of the UK. No – to protect Afghan women. Hey – we got the job done, didn't we?
Jim McCluskey
Twickenham, Middlesex
John White seems to inhabit an alternative universe. His idea of Saddam Hussein and al-Qa'ida collaborating (letter, 19 August) is right up there with Oswald Mosley joining the Labour Friends of Israel.
His suggestion that Blair took his decision to wage war out of "moral courage," is just as far-fetched. It is now obvious that Blair was expecting to be rewarded by the US by being strong-armed into the Secretary General's job at the UN, or, failing that, America would use its then right-wing allies among Europe's leaders to get him the EU Presidency. This is less moral courage than colossal self-importance, over-reaching ambition and preening vanity.

Architects do debate beauty
In his review of the book Architecture and Beauty, Jay Merrick (16 August) questions whether architects think about beauty when they design, whether they are able and willing to discuss beauty, and even whether there is any precise definition of it. Do we, he asks, find it easier to discuss taste?
Are there any universals? Can we measure beauty? Is beauty elitist and only for the few? If architects are preoccupied with beauty, are social and economic concerns sacrificed?
Contrary to the article's claim that architects resist debating beauty, these and related questions about beauty and architecture are to be debated next month in a symposium at the Royal Institute of British Architects. I hope your correspondent will be able to come and contribute, along with any of your other readers interested in debating beauty and architecture.

Return of the sparrow
Ten years ago there were no sparrows in my garden in Clapham. They had completely disappeared ("Mystery of the vanishing sparrows still baffles scientists 10 years on", 19 August). Then in March 2003 one cock sparrow took up residence in a bush near to the house and sang there every day for three weeks. It was eventually joined by a hen. This summer the local "host" numbers around 50.
Yesterday I saw a sparrow in a bush outside St Thomas' Hospital, less than a mile from Trafalgar Square. It can't be long before they cross the river again. The Independent's prize for discovering the reason for the obliteration of the sparrow in London may eventually become irrelevant.

I live in central London and we have around 40-50 sparrows living in our immediate back gardens. It must be the fresh N5 air.

Perspectives on the Pakistan floods
Victims really do need our money
Compared with the Haiti disaster earlier this year, which saw the world coming together, the response to Pakistan's flood has been fragmented and slow. Several reasons underlie this unusual collective behaviour.
The death toll of 1,600 is a fraction of the nearly a quarter of a million witnessed in Haiti, and does not help to quantify the scale of damage. With increasingly frequent natural disasters, and Haiti, Chile and the Burma cyclone fresh in memory, a relentless donation requirement is perhaps taking a toll.
Pakistan's corrupt leadership, showcasing incompetence by touring Europe in times of crisis, has widened the chasm, while its tarnished image as a sanctuary for terrorists has done no favours. Fear of donation money getting in the wrong hands, corrupt politicians or the terrorist groups, is widespread. Even people in Pakistan are contributing privately and avoiding relief funds set up by the present government.
Some also cite their dislike of the high military spending in the past, instead of infrastructure development.
However it is undoubtedly the biggest disaster of our lifetimes, with the poorest being hit the hardest. Around 20 million have been displaced and many of them left with nothing but their tattered clothes. Alarms have been raised on a new wave of deaths – in thousands – unless medicines, food and water supplies are restored.
Medical camps in various parts of the country are starting to report deaths due to water-borne diseases and even dehydration.
While reservations about money not being rightly channelled are understandable, people can still donate to international charities (UNICEF, Red Cross, Islamic Relief and Oxfam) which ensure transparent usage of their contributions. Swift and world-scale effort is needed now.

Interest-free loan from World Bank
The World Bank's agreement with the Government of Pakistan to provide $900m of financial support for reconstruction following the devastating floods is not "expensive borrowing" that Pakistan "can ill afford" (Omar Waraich, 18 August)
The funding will come from the Bank's fund for the poorest countries, which means the loans are concessional and will attract no interest payments. Moreover, this is already programmed money that is being diverted to meet immediate needs.
In addition, the Bank has made a grant of $1.3m through a fund for disaster reduction and recovery to support an urgently needed damage and needs assessment in the wake of the floods, to be led jointly by the Asian Development Bank and the World Bank, at the request of the government. Some of this grant has already been used to purchase rescue boats, delivered to the government last week.

Think For Yourself
Biographer: Astronomer Carl Sagan Smoked Marijuana
By Scott Andrews 21 Aug 1999 Associated Press
A second article follows, below, reflections by Keay Davidson, Sagan's biographer,
Billions and Billions of '60s Flashbacks

A Pale Blue Planet Mourns the Passing of a Passionate Scientist, Scientific American
Carl Sagan, 1934-1996
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The late astronomer and author, Carl Sagan was a secret but avid marijuana smoker, crediting it with inspiring essays and scientific insight, according to Sagan's biographer.
Using the pseudonym "Mr. X'', Sagan wrote about his pot smoking in an essay published in the 1971 book "Reconsidering Marijuana.'' The book's editor, Lester Grinspoon, recently disclosed the secret to Sagan's biographer, Keay Davidson.
Davidson, a writer for the San Francisco Examiner, revealed the marijuana use in an article published in the newspaper's magazine Sunday. "Carl Sagan: A Life'' is due out in October.
"I find that today a single joint is enough to get me high ... in one movie theater recently I found I could get high just by inhaling the cannabis smoke which permeated the theater,'' wrote Sagan, who authored popular science books such as "Cosmos,'' "Contact,'' and "The Dragons of Eden.''
In the essay, Sagan said marijuana inspired some of his intellectual work.
"I can remember one occasion, taking a shower with my wife while high, in which I had an idea on the origins and invalidities of racism in terms of gaussian distribution curves,'' wrote the former Cornell University professor. "I wrote the curves in soap on the shower wall, and went to write the idea down.
Sagan also wrote that pot enhanced his experience of food, particularly potatoes, music and sex.
Grinspoon, Sagan's closest friend for 30 years, said Sagan's marijuana use is evidence against the notion that marijuana makes people less ambitious.
"He was certainly highly motivated to work, to contribute,'' said Grinspoon, a psychiatry professor at Harvard University.
Grinspoon is an advocate of decriminalizing marijuana.
Ann Druyan, Sagan's former wife, is a director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws. The nonprofit group promotes legalization of marijuana.
Sagan died of pneumonia in 1996. He was 62.
US: Billions and Billions of '60s Flashbacks
By Keay Davidson 22 Aug 1999,
San Francisco Examiner
[Davidson is Carl Sagan's Biographer]
For young people of the '60s and '70s, marijuana use was a rite of passage. To the very youngest, smoking the illegal drug was the boldest way to rebel against parental and governmental authority. But many young adults used "weed" too.
The term "groves of academe" took on a new meaning in universities, where the spiky-leaved plants grew vigorously and covertly under ultraviolet lamps in dormitory closets. Carl >Sagan had been a regular marijuana user from the early '60s on. He believed the drug enhanced his creativity and insights. His closest friend of three decades, Harvard psychiatry professor Dr. Lester Grinspoon, a leading advocate of the decriminalization of marijuana, recalls an incident in the '80s when one of his California admirers mailed him, unsolicited, some unusually high-quality pot.
Grinspoon shared the joints with >Sagan and his last wife, Ann Druyan. Afterward >Sagan said, "Lester, I know you've only got one left, but could I have it? I've got serious work to do tomorrow and I could really use it."
Grinspoon's 1971 book "Marihuana Reconsidered" included a long essay by an unidentified "Mr. X," who described his happy experiences with the drug. The essay identified Mr. X as "a professor at one of the top-ranking American universities" but disguised his identity by saying he was "in his early forties."
In my interview with Grinspoon, he revealed that Mr. X was >Sagan (who turned 37 the year the book was published by Harvard University Press).To Grinspoon, >Sagan's use of the drug is dramatic disproof of the popular wisdom that pot diminishes motivation: "He was certainly highly motivated to work, to contribute."
Mr. X's essay is of interest not merely because it reveals >Sagan's use of an illegal drug but also because it offers a glimpse of feelings he rarely shared. Portions of the account follow, beginning with >Sagan's drug-induced version of Plato's myth of the cave.
It all began about ten years ago. I had reached a considerably more relaxed period in my life - a time when I had come to feel that there was more to living than science, a time of awakening of my social consciousness and amiability, a time when I was open to new experiences. I had become friendly with a group of people who occasionally smoked cannabis, irregularly, but with evident pleasure. Initially I was unwilling to partake, but the apparent euphoria that cannabis produced and the fact that there was no physiological addiction to the plant eventually persuaded me to try.
My initial experiences were entirely disappointing; there was no effect at all, and I began to entertain a variety of hypotheses about cannabis being a placebo which worked by expectation and hyperventilation rather than by chemistry. After about five or six unsuccessful attempts, however, it happened.
I was lying on my back in a friend's living room idly examining the pattern of shadows on the ceiling cast by a potted plant (not cannabis!). I suddenly realized that I was examining an intricately detailed miniature Volkswagen, distinctly outlined by the shadows.
I was very skeptical at this perception, and tried to find inconsistencies between Volkswagens and what I viewed on the ceiling. But it was all there, down to hubcaps, license plate, chrome, and even the small handle used for opening the trunk.
When I closed my eyes, I was stunned to find that there was a movie going on on the inside of my eyelids. Flash...a simple country scene with red farmhouse, blue sky, white clouds, yellow path meandering over green hills to the horizon. Flash...same scene, orange house, brown sky, red clouds, yellow path, violet fields... Flash...Flash...Flash.
The flashes came about once a heartbeat. Each flash brought the same simple scene into view, but each time with a different set of colors...exquisitely deep hues, and astonishingly harmonious in their juxtaposition. Since then I have smoked occasionally and enjoyed it thoroughly...
I smile, or sometimes even laugh out loud at the pictures on the insides of my eyelids," Mr. X/>Sagan wrote.
Even so, he remained the astute scientific observer:
While my early perceptions were all visual, and curiously lacking in images of human beings, both of these items have changed over the intervening years.... I test whether I'm high by closing my eyes and looking for the flashes.
They come long before there are any alterations in my visual or other perceptions. I would guess this is a signal-to-noise problem, the visual noise level being very low with my eyes closed.... [Flashed images resemble] cartoons: just the outlines of figures, caricatures, not photographs.
I think this is simply a matter of information compression: it would be impossible to grasp the total content of an image with the information content of an ordinary photograph, say 108 [100 million] bits, in the fraction of a second which a flash occupies.
"I find that today a single joint is enough to get me high.... in one movie theater recently I found I could get high just by inhaling the cannabis smoke which permeated the theater." Pot enhanced his pleasure in music and food. ("A potato will have a texture, body, and taste like that of other potatoes, but much more so.")
In sex, too: marijuana "gives an exquisite sensitivity, but on the other hand it postpones orgasm: in part by distracting me with the profusion of images passing before my eyes."
"I find that most of the insights I achieve when high are into social issues," he added. "I can remember one occasion, taking a shower with my wife while high, in which I had an idea on the origins and invalidities of racism in terms of gaussian distribution curves.
It was a point obvious in a way, but rarely talked about. I drew the curves in soap on the shower wall, and went to write the idea down. One idea led to another, and at the end of about an hour of extremely hard work I found I had written 11 short essays on a wide range of social, political, philosophical, and human biological topics...I have used them in university commencement addresses, public lectures, and in my books....
"...If I find in the morning a message from myself the night before informing me that there is a world around us which we barely sense, or that we can become one with the universe, or even that certain politicians are desperately frightened men, I may tend to disbelieve; but when I'm high I know about this disbelief.
And so I have a tape in which I exhort myself to take such remarks seriously. I say "Listen closely, you sonofabitch of the morning! This stuff is real!"
Sagan added: "I have on a few occasions been forced to drive in heavy traffic when high. I've negotiated it with no difficulty at all, although I did have some thoughts about the marvelous cherry-red color of traffic lights."
