WASHINGTON | One in three buyers of U.S. homes is paying cash, a record high number, according to data made available to McClatchy.
The trend is being driven by retiring baby boomers and rich investors, who unlike most first-time buyers can bypass tighter lending requirements to pay cash. They now rule the roost, composing record percentages of residential home sales.
It's meant the field is closed off for conventional purchasers in some hot markets, but in others it's meant forward momentum for the struggling housing sector.
All-cash sales as a percentage of residential real estate sales stood at 33 percent from January to March this year. That's up from 31 percent for all of 2013 and 2011 and 29 percent for 2012. These are the highest percentages since the National Association of Realtors started collecting the data in 2008. Before that, it estimated that cash buyers historically represented less than 10 percent of all sales.
The group analyzed state-level numbers on behalf of McClatchy, and it found that states such as Florida, South Carolina and Wyoming had outsized cash sales during the first quarter of 2014.
The rising cash sales come despite a drop in one of the main draws for cash purchases: financially distressed properties sold through foreclosures or at a loss to the banks.
"What is surprising is how cash continued to remain high even though distressed property sales are declining. Distress sales invited all the cash purchases," said Lawrence Yun, the chief economist for the Realtors' group.
Distressed home sales declined from 26 percent of the national market in 2012 to 17 percent in 2013 to 15 percent in the first three months of 2014. It means that even as the housing market heals and conventional sales return, all-cash purchases remain a big chunk of residential sales.
Yun points to a couple of trends that are driving the boom in cash purchases, trends that fall into the broader debate about rising income inequality in the United States. One driver appears to be wealthy investors, foreign and domestic, diversifying into real estate. Another is baby boomers selling homes that were paid off and retiring elsewhere with the proceeds, purchasing homes.
More Home Buyers Paying Cash

Such hair! Who in his right mind would ever volunteer to do without it? Yes, in life, as in art, hair is of great moment. Think of the hair of Bacchus in Titian's Bacchus and Ariadne at the National Gallery, how the flight of it, partially interwoven with leaves, seems to embody his wildness, his outrageous proposal to Ariadne that she might wish to wed him in exchange for receiving the sky as a nuptial gift.
The impulsive movement of his body as he leaps headlong out of his chariot towards her seems to be given that much more energy by the nature of his hair. Or think of the awful burden of hair that is suffered by Dante Rossetti's disgustingly syrupy womenfolk, how it drenches them in grossly immoderate sensuality as if they were so many over-rich cakes heaped up on a groaning table.
The hair on this page is very special too. The image itself, which is a head study for St John the Evangelist, was later incorporated into a great altarpiece of The Entombment of Christ, and it is currently being used – in fact, somewhat misused thanks to the characteristic crassness of the advertising man – to draw attention to a magnificent show of work by Federico Barocci at the National Gallery.
You can see it on every poster, this wonderfully ebullient hairscape. Except that, alas, you cannot quite see it because it has been cropped, and then partially obscured by information. This is tragic because the hair helps to give emotional definition to the work. Cropped, we concentrate upon the flushed cheek – this flushing of the cheek happens again and again in Barocci, and so when we see it in near isolation from the full swing and fling and fly of the hair – as on those posters – it shrinks to a slightly tiresome mannerism.
At the National Gallery itself, the study hangs beside a second one of this exact same pose and, just a couple of metres away, the dramatic altarpiece itself. Often a study for a painting looks more vitally alive than the near-perfect copy of it which subsequently appears in the painting itself. This happens a great deal in Rubens. His enormous, finished canvases often feel like little more than bravura exercises. Their emotional impact is much less than that of the detailed studies in which they began their lives.
Something similar has happened here. This first study is a wonder. It looks and feels impulsively provisional, a wave of feeling that has been caught on the ebb or the flow. The second study is much more resolved, much closer to the head that we can see in the painting itself. (It may even have been painted after the work was finished.)
So much of the emotional impact of the earlier study on this page depends upon how he has painted this blurry cloud of auburn hair – its soft, hazy, wispy featheriness; how it spirals away from the crown of the head in an unruly fashion, or slips down, partially concealing the right ear, in thin, wayward threads. This is hair as indicative of emotional disarray, hair that has been slept on, hair that is not being attended to because there is the terrible, distracting burden of everything else.
The altarpiece shows us what that else is: the young St John, Christ's most beloved apostle, is helping to bear the weight of the dead Christ's body, which is being carried on a sheet towards its resting place. We know nothing of all of this in the study, and it is good that we do not because the altarpiece is not entirely successful.
In fact, there is bathos at its centre. Christ himself looks as if he is taking a post-prandial snooze in a convenient hammock. Oh well, this is hardly the first time that a great painter or writer has failed to lend conviction to the embodiment of overwhelming goodness. We can appraise the study without the burden of all this religiosity, admire it for itself alone, as the capturing of a mood and a moment.
About the artist: Federico Barocci (1535-1612)
Federico Barocci was born, like his great predecessor Raphael, in the town of Urbino in the Marches of Italy in 1535, and much of his life was spent working in that area. In the 1550s he moved to Rome, but during a second visit to the Eternal City he was poisoned during a picnic, allegedly by jealous rivals, and in 1563 he returned to the city of his birth, where he remained for the rest of his career, influential and extremely highly paid.

How and When Do You File a Section 8 Declaration?
Sometime between the fifth and sixth anniversaries of a federal trademark registration, the trademark owner must file a Declaration of Use.
A Section 8 Declaration is a statement made to the U.S. Patent and Trademark office (USPTO) affirming that your federally registered trademark has been in use continuously for a period five years. Failure to file it on time will result in the loss of the registration. Sometime between the fifth and sixth anniversaries of a federal trademark registration, the trademark owner must file the Declaration of Use of a mark declaring the continued use of the mark (or an explanation as to the special circumstances for any period of nonuse). The declaration must also be filed at the time of trademark renewal. The requirements for the declaration are set forth in Section 8 of the Lanham Act. (15 United States Code, Section 1058) and explained below. The fee (currently $100) must be enclosed along with a specimen of the mark as it is currently used for each class of goods or services. In lieu of the specimen, the trademark owner may recite facts as to the sales or advertising that demonstrates that the mark is in use.
If the owner fails to timely file the Section 8 Declaration, federal trademark rights will be canceled. If you miss the time period for filing you can still file the Section 8 Declaration within six months following the six year anniversary date for an additional $100 fee.
If the mark is canceled ...
If you miss the filing dates, the only way to reclaim federal trademark rights is to file a new application for registration. Note that having the mark canceled doesn't terminate your trademark. It is still protected under common law and state law rules. What is lost is benefits of federal registration.
If the mark has been assigned
In the event that the mark has been assigned to a new owner since registration, the Section 8 Declaration is filed by the current owner, and the change in ownership should be reflected by the current owner filing a copy of the assignment with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). When the Section 8 Declaration is filed for the first time (between the fifth and sixth years of registration), it is usually combined with a Section 15 Declaration. Forms for the Section 8, Section 15, and combined Sections 8 and 15 Declaration can be downloaded from the USPTO website (www.uspto.gov).
How do you complete the Declaration?
- Visit the USPTO site and navigate to "Registration Maintenance/Renewal/Correction Forms".
- Navigate to Declaration of Use and/or Excusable Nonuse of a Mark under Section 8 (unless you plan on filing a combination declaration including Section 9 or 15).
- You must supply your registration number, then answer questions as to who is filing the declaration
- You must provide information as to the entity that owns the mark
- You must upload a specimen showing the mark as used in commerce
- You must execute the declaration as to whether the marks have been in continuous use on the same goods or services as originally declared when the applications was file. If not, you must supply the appropriate information.
- You must provide electronic signature
- You must pay for filing (currently $100).
You must file file a Section 8 declaration, specimen, and fee on a date that falls on or between the fifth (5th) and sixth (6th) anniversaries of the registration (or, for an extra fee of $100.00 per class, you may file within the six-month grace period following the sixth (6th) anniversary date). If you choose to file a Combined Declaration of Use and Incontestability (Section 8 & 9 Declaration) (recommended) you may do so at the same time, instead. You must subsequently file a Section 8 declaration, specimen, and fee on a date that falls on or between the ninth (9th) and tenth (10th) anniversaries of the registration, and each successive ten-year period thereafter (or, for an extra fee of $100.00 per class, you may file within the six-month grace period).

Speculation in the British and American media has - without any evidence - blamed mechanical failure, a struggle between the crew, a bomb, a hijack and a suicidal crew member. The lack of any "steer" from America's National Transportation Safety Board investigators has to some extent encouraged the theories. But the nationality of the crew and the plane has also apparently encouraged reporters' irresponsible guesswork.
In previous crashes, infighting between American investigating agencies has contributed to conflicting theories. This time, the authorities have sought to stop speculation by focusing on the facts. But anonymous sources from one US agency have repeatedly leaked their views to the press.
The earliest indications from the cockpit voice recorder are that there was a problem with the aircraft, the crew tried to deal with it, but things went rapidly from bad to worse.
"Something happens. Alarms go off. Both [pilots] work to try to fix it," an unnamed source said after the investigators listened to the tape for the first time. "There is some kind of problem that they're dealing with. It gets progressively worse. And the tape stops."
This source, however, apparently did not speak Arabic and had not understood anything on the tape, which tends to undermine his credibility.
From the aircraft's flight data recorder, it is known that for some reason the crew disengaged the autopilot. The plane began dropping from 33,000ft at a 40-degree angle, almost reaching the speed of sound and zero gravity inside the cabin. The engines were apparently manually shut down during the dive. The plane reached 16,000ft and then climbed back to 24,000ft before falling rapidly and breaking up. This pattern of events does not fit with any known course of action in response to a problem.
There was no indication of a fight between the crew, who were speaking "like pals," said the source who has heard the tape. Nor was there any sign that someone had entered the cockpit. Indeed, there was never any evidence for this theory.
A US government official told Newsweek magazine that Boeing was "pushing" the theory of a cockpit struggle. Boeing denied this. If mechanical failure is the cause, there might be serious implications for Boeing, including legal action.
The supposition of a cockpit fight was based on the fact that the flight elevators had been moved in opposite directions moments before the crash. From this, the inference was drawn that the pilot and co-pilot acted against each other. Equally, it assumed the decision to shut off the autopilot and the engines was irrational, something that cannot be judged until the cause of the problem is known.
The accusation that one of the crew might have tried to kill himself, or have fought with his colleagues, was based on no evidence. It seems highly unlikely that US newspapers would have made these accusations against an America pilot who had died in similar circumstances, and the families and friends of the crew have understandably responded angrily.
Captain Ahmed al-Habashy, the lead pilot, was stable and happy, his wife and brother have said. He was close to retirement. "He never smoked or drank alcohol," his brother said. "He had no bad habits. He was very religious and prayed and was always reading the Koran," he said. The Boston Herald felt it necessary to add that he was "not an extremist".
Co-pilot Adel Anwar was due to be married five days after the flight and had exchanged slots with another flight officer to return home sooner.
Other theories with equally little evidence have also surfaced. The first was that the reverse thrusters might have malfunctioned, based on a similar crash of a Boeing 767 in Thailand - an aircraft that was made at the same time as the EgyptAir plane. The data recorder seemed to rule this out.
More than one newspaper has blamed terrorism, citing the flight profile, the suddenness of the problem and the lack of a distress call. It has also been noted that the aircraft had a large number of Egyptian military personnel on board. The FBI has given no signs that it is actively looking at terrorism as a likely cause. But the leaks from the inquiry may come from the FBI, which has been criticised for a number of investigations recently, and is seeking funds for, among other things, a new counter- terrorism unit.

Back in 2008, we said:
...was the inspiration for our new coupe, capturing all the style, power and splendour of that era," said Bentley's Chairman Dr Franz-Josef Paefgen in a release. The heart of the new Brooklands is the brand's most powerful V-8 engine ever — a twin-turbocharged 6.75-liter eight with 530 hp and 774 pound-feet of torque. In the Arnage sedan, the engine makes 500 hp. And as in the sedan, the engine will be teamed in the Brooklands with a six-speed automatic. Stability control and semi-manual shifting will be incorporated into the vehicle's dynamic package... Read More

Your body's in overdrive
Q I had a baby four weeks ago and am a bit alarmed at the rate at which I'm losing weight. I did have a bit to lose and thought it would probably come off gradually, especially since I'm breast feeding. I'm eating like a horse but am already half a stone less than I was before I got pregnant. I'm looking a bit scrawny and washed out. I've also been getting rather anxious and feel jittery though friends tell me this is normal with a first baby. I'm also sweating more than usual. Do I need to worry?
A Get your GP to do a blood test to check your thyroid function. It's surprisingly common for your thyroid gland to run amok after pregnancy and pump out too much thyroid hormone. Thyroid hormones are the pacesetters of our bodies; too much and you're in overdrive, like having your car engine too highly tuned. You gobble up fuel and still lose weight, sweat buckets and experience your heart racing as palpitations and rising tides of anxiety.
For largely unknown reasons, up to 7% of women who have had a baby develop an overactive thyroid caused by antibodies you produce against your own thyroid gland. These destructive auto-antibodies attack the gland and make thyroid hormones leak out into the bloodstream. As the auto-antibodies continue to attack the thyroid, the thyroid cells that make the hormones become depleted so after a couple of months of being in over-active mode, you may find that your thyroid starts to underperform. That feels as though someone has turned your engine right down so you chug along slowly, everything's an effort, you put on weight even though you're eating the same or less, and instead of sweating, you'll be wrapping up in winter woollies to keep warm.
Within a year, 80% of women with this condition will be back to normal thyroid function and many will never even know they had it, having put all these alarming changes down to the challenges of parenthood.
Medication isn't always necessary unless you're getting unmanageable symptoms. Betablockers are the best bet for blocking those you get in the hyper phase, especially for palpitations. And you may want to take extra thyroid hormone if you feel sluggish in a few weeks' time. About 20% of women may need to stay on thyroxine for more than a year, though most women will be back to normal and off all medication by their child's first birthday.
If blood tests do confirm that you have developed this condition, you will probably get it in subsequent pregnancies too as there's a 70% recurrence rate. But like parenthood itself, second time round is never as alarming as being a first timer!
Four days of agony
Q I have just been through the most painful experience of my life. Out of the blue, I developed an excruciating pain in my anus. Passing a stool nearly killed me and the pain lasted for a couple of hours after each motion. My GP gave me an ointment to rub on which numbed the pain a bit and a laxative so passing my motions would be as smooth as possible. I also gobbled painkillers and now, four days later, the agony has almost passed. I'm terrified this will happen again. What can you recommend?
A Health warning; put down your breakfast while you read this. It sounds like an anal fissure; the sort of thing you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy. I'm sure your GP checked that there was no other cause of your anal pain such as infection, growths or trauma. Passing a hard stool can cause a fissure or ulcer in the part of the anus that lies just below the sphincter that keeps us faecally continent. This sphincter goes into spasm and it's probably the lack of blood supply to the sphincter that causes that terrible pain.
The fissure heals itself and if you're lucky, will never return. Warm baths and stool softeners such as glycerine suppositories and laxatives may help. For an unlucky few, the fissures recur frequently enough to drive them to surgery which cuts part of the sphincter (sphincterotomy). The old-fashioned treatment of stretching the sphincter works less well and causes more incontinence than cutting. Sphincterotomy cures the problem in more than 90% of cases but - and there's always a but - you have a 10% risk of becoming incontinent.
Non-surgical options exist but aren't much more effective than leaving it to time and nature to sort out. The three treatments that work best are Botox injections or rubbing on anti-angina drugs nitroglycerin or calcium channel blockers, all of which relieve spasm. Botox can be painful and nitroglycerin gives you a thumping headache so the calcium channel blockers such as nifedipine may be the best bet. Only the nitroglycerin ointment is readily available at the moment.

Keep Assange from the lynch mob
Johann Hari is right ("This case must not obscure what WikiLeaks has told us", 8 December). WikiLeaks has performed a valuable service in exposing the nasty underbelly of international politics, as controlled by the US. The public needs to know, if it is ever to succeed in calling governments to account.
The US wants to extradite Julian Assange from Sweden to try him for "espionage". Assange is not a terrorist, nor is he a spy. He is simply the founder of an organisation publishing information that not only embarrasses the US and its allies, but makes the public aware of how duplicitous our governments are. He cannot be charged or tried by any government on these grounds – unless of course we wish to see a return to Stalinist Russia or Nazi Germany.
The hysterical reaction to WikiLeaks and its very careful release of information is worrying. More than one high-profile person in the US and elsewhere have voiced their desire to see Assange killed. One would hope that Britain does not support assassination. It certainly doesn't support the death penalty, but, that aside, this country should not and cannot legally be party to "rendering" Assange to Sweden in the knowledge that he will then be sent to the US, where he could face assassination or execution.
It has yet to be proved that any information released by WikiLeaks has resulted in someone's death or injury. I genuinely fear it may soon be all too easy to prove that Britain has Assange's blood on its hands.
Lesley Docksey, Buckland Newton, Dorset
If Julian Assange is unfortunately extradited to Sweden, it should only be with the most stringent and secure assurance on the part of the Swedish authorities that if the charges are dismissed, he is immediately returned safely to the UK and the protection of its courts.
It is highly likely that, in reviving charges already dismissed by her superior, the Swedish prosecutor is reacting to American pressure. We can no longer be complicit in the extrajudicial, extraterritorial application of Lex Americana around the world if we are to maintain any semblance of international credibility or moral authority.
Christopher Dawes, London W11
No room at the top for US diplomats
All large organisations which deny the top posts to the most able inevitably run the risk of being found wanting. The top posts in the US Diplomatic Corps have traditionally been reserved for political appointees and not trained career diplomats. This is a real disincentive to Americans who may consider it as a career option. The most talented in their society may look for other opportunities where their abilities will be fully recognised.
There is a knock-on effect down through the organisation. Perhaps some of the worst gaffes revealed by WikiLeaks stem from this inadequacy.
Matthew Martin, Swardeston, Norfolk
Why don't schools stay open when it snows?
Mary Dejevsky is right to question the necessity of complete school closures for snow (Notebook, 8 December). Why can't the schools announce an optional snow day instead of either a complete closure or normal opening?
Any parents that need to go to work and can get their children there safely can bring them to school. Parents who don't need childcare coverage are asked to keep their children at home. Some teachers may not be able to get there, but the ones who can could surely accommodate the proportion of children who will attend.
Parents who bring their children can be asked to send them with a packed lunch in case the dinner ladies can't get there, and extra clothes and outdoor gear so they can play in the snow, too. The children can do non-curricular activities, such as extra music, games, conversation, reading and art. I'm sure the teachers who get there could whip up a fun and useful day with all the resources of the school and only a small proportion of the students on hand.
This would minimise the problems of working parents and reduce both the danger on roads and the pressure on public transport. It would also make a pleasing novelty for both the children who attend and the children who don't.
Ellen Purton, Twickenham, Middlesex
I understand parents' frustration when schools close in bad weather, but, if you have worked in a school, particularly an infant or primary school, you will know that it's not only a matter of whether or not pupils can get to school. There is also the problem of what it is like if they do make it.
Schools have been starved of investment. Ancient heating usually struggles. Classrooms are often so-called mobile classrooms in the playground and, to go to the toilet or get to the dinner hall, children as young as six have to make their way through snow to another building, only to arrive wet and cold at an under-heated room or a malfunctioning toilet.
Once the hardy have arrived in the dinner hall, there may not be a meal for them. Deliveries to school kitchens are often unable to get through.
Since there is no means of getting them warm and dry, it is often not possible to provide children with an outside play time. Any parent can imagine the scene, then, where upwards of 25 children are cooped up in a classroom all day. Mary Dejevsky suggests that the timetable can be altered and, of course, this is done. But there is a point where attendance at school becomes child-minding and is of little value to anyone except working parents.
At the school where I was head, we made every effort to keep the school open. We kept the normal timetable going as far as possible and, if not, we moved classes into the school hall, which was warmer, and tried to organise group activities for excited children who had had too little food and no exercise.
On one occasion, we used school funds to buy sandwiches from the corner shop and performed a loaves-and-fishes miracle on them. On another occasion, a flood in our potholed playground this time, two teachers piggy-backed every one of their 60 children across the playground, as very few of them had wellies.
At the end of that day, many parents were delayed by road floods and arrived as late as 6pm to collect the children that staff had been looking after since school began.
Jean Gallafent, London NW1
A friend posted the following on Facebook: "One and a half hours to drive what usually takes 10-15 minutes.. Bloody bloody snow!!!" She lives in Canada. And we thought that all those countries that routinely have snow at this time of year have no problems.
Keith Tizzard, Ottery St Mary, Devon
John Eoin Douglas (letter, 7 December) claims that zero degrees Celsius is seen as a sign that civilisation as we know it must be suspended, whereas 32 Fahrenheit never had that effect. I would add that when we go below freezing, for example -7C, it does seem really cold, whereas the equivalent 20F has no feeling to it. If you resort to the clumsy American way of saying "it's twelve below", it still doesn't seem as cold as a minus sign.
John S Murray, Honley, West Yorkshire
Could I raise a simple question about the awful misery the weather in Scotland is causing? Whatever happened to the use of snow chains and winter tyres?

Stand by for the new brain drain
All MPs with a university education who vote for the higher tuition fees will presumably be happy to pay at least £27,000 (three years at £9,000) for the benefit of their personal university education – that is only fair isn't it?
By "taxing" all students rather than reducing capacity they are promoting another "brain drain". Universities in the US and Europe are already touting for business to cream off the best students, leaving the less able (or the privileged wealthy few) to fill the UK vacuum. Will sixth-form colleges be the next advantage students have to pay for?
Paul Gilbert, Solihull west Midlands
Nick Clegg states: "I believe in this policy. I really think we will look back in 10 or 15 years time and think that was quite a brave thing to do." I suggest that the Liberal Democrats will look back and think that this was the moment a generation of students resolved never to vote for them again.
Ellis Williams, Nantwich, Cheshire
While the Government is going to great pains to explain that tuition fees do not have to be paid upfront and that students can get a loan that they will have to pay off over 30 years, what it omits to mention is that if these tuition fees are paid upfront the student will not have to take out a 30-year loan.
Thus children of the rich will be able to avoid this loan by having their parents pay these fees for them, while the poorer children will have to suffer 30 years of debt for their education. Yet again the Tories and Lib Dems have designed another system designed to benefit the rich to the detriment of everyone else.
Thomas Wiggins, Wokingham, Berkshire
With youth unemployment running at record levels, and faced with the prospect of an imminent cut in maintenance allowance to students attending post-16 courses, not to mention the cutting of £4bn from the education budget and the corresponding rise in tuition fees, it is heartening that the Coalition is going to allow all these young people to carry knives without fear of censure on the streets of our towns and cities.
Simon G Gosden, Rayleigh, Essex
A Cambridge lecturer writes about the sit-in at his university (6 December). He says: "And a bunch of we academics turned up . . ." Most of we would agree, I think, that he needs some remedial English. Or perhaps he meant "a bunch of wee academics".
Bernard Smith, Hailsham, East Sussex
Poetry written for other poets
Sir Andrew Motion should be congratulated on his generous proposal to work for the revival of poetry at schools ("Poor teachers make poetry a bore for pupils, claims Motion", 6 December). He is totally right that poetry could be a healthy influence even for students of mathematics, to which I would like to add the sciences. His proposal to try to open the subject of poetry among school teachers is important because many are obviously not receptive to the treasures that contemporary poetry offers them.
If this is the case I would like to remind Sir Andrew of one of the few qualities that our often maligned politicians universally possess: an understanding that it is not right to blame the voters for not voting for them. It is not impossible that most of the poetry now produced is written by poets for poets and that a serious and objective study of why intelligent and sensitive people find very little for them in contemporary poetry has never been done.
One of the most distinguished poets in this country emailed me a few months ago saying that in a lecture at Cambridge trying to proselytise a scientists' audience one of them asked what poetry could offer them, to which this poet had no answer.
Sir Andrew might perhaps reflect that the extraordinary success of the Poetry Schools and poetry magazines in this country might have encased contemporary poetry in a self-imposed discipline that could perhaps reduce its attractiveness to non-practitioners.
Simon Altmann, Brasenose College, Oxford
Although I share some of Andrew Motion's concerns about poetry teaching, how depressing it was to see him mindlessly adopting the "poor teachers" mantra.
It is true that many English teachers lack confidence in teaching poetry, but then that is hardly surprising, considering that teachers nowadays have so few training opportunities. It is all right for Michael Gove to talk about training teachers "on the job", but unless they have opportunities to share ideas more widely with other practitioners, professional development will remain neglected.
I have been a senior English coursework moderator for over 20 years, during which time I have benefited massively from informed discussion with other experienced teachers. Nowadays, head teachers are extremely reluctant to let teachers out of school, lest A-C targets should be threatened by teacher absence from the classroom. How short-sighted.
Moreover, teachers have to operate within the boundaries imposed by bodies such as QCA, who set the agenda. If poetry is relatively sidelined in syllabuses, how surprising is it that teachers have less confidence in teaching it?
As the brother and father of published poets, I am well aware that the poetry scene is more vibrant now than it has ever been, partly because of the burgeoning of small presses (a parallel with the growth of microbreweries?). How that translates into the classroom may well depend on the will of politicians.
Andy Mort, Calow, Derbyshire
Free-for-all to poison the public
Margaret Thatcher did away with proper regulation of the financial services and the City of London. Less than a generation later, the UK suffered a catastrophic banking and financial crisis.
Now the Tory-led Coalition Government plans to do away with proper regulations that combat high consumption of junk food, alcohol and cigarettes ("Public health fears as Lansley retreats from regulation", 4 December). The Tories are again trying to con the British public that they are removing the shackles of a "nanny state". The truth is that the Tories are now repaying their paymasters, the unscrupulous big businesses who want to make mega-profits at the expense of the British public through unfettered advertisement, promotion and sales of their deadly products.
It will be interesting to see the reaction of the coalition junior partner, the Lib Dems, to this policy. If the Tories succeed, we will, in less than 10 years, see the disastrous effects of allowing big businesses to do as they please.
In the imperfect market, it is essential for proper commonsense law and regulations to prevent abuses and malpractices of unscrupulous big businesses.
Stephen Chang, Bickley, Kent
System keeps the poor poor
There is no better argument for universal benefits than the attacks on poor parents, first by Howard Flight, and now by Frank Field, following the withdrawal of child benefit from better-off parents.
Views like Flight's and Field's promote the myth that poverty results from personal inferiority in the form of laziness, bad genes, and/or low aspirations. In fact, "our" economic system requires large numbers of low-paid workers, kept in line by high unemployment. Equality of outcomes has no place in this system, so is sneered at as not only impossible but slightly immoral. The highest goal offered us is social mobility, or a fair start in a rat-race with a predetermined percentage of losers, whichever individuals go up or down.
Means-testing, piously defended as helping those most in need, plays a large part in upholding this ethos. It isolates the recipients, identifying them as failures and burdens, unfit (according to Field) to bring up adequately the children that (according to Flight) they shouldn't have had in the first place.
Katherine Perlo, Edinburgh
Proud history of void elections
Phil Woolas is the first person since Gladstone's day to be deprived of his seat for telling lies about an opponent. Since then, bribery, treating electors and financial irregularities have been the sins that led to elections being declared void on petition to the courts.
A bumper year was 1910: at the two exceptionally hard- fought general elections 100 years ago, the high-point of Lloyd George's radicalism, nine successful petitions were lodged. In Cheltenham there was double trouble. The Liberal victor was unseated for submitting phoney accounts; then it emerged that he was a convicted felon and so disqualified all along.
The last time an election was quashed by the courts because of a candidate's malpractice was in 1923, when the successful Liberal in Oxford put in a false expense return.
Alistair Cooke, London SW1
Wedding plans
Your excellent new correspondent, Talbot Church, puts me in mind of that first-class journalist, Cooper Brown, who graced your pages a few years ago. They seem to come from the same stable. The same school perhaps? If so I do hope that Talbot Church can fill us in on what has been happening to dear old Coop, and whether Coop will be at the wedding. I seem to recall a royal connection of some kind.

On July 5, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) responded to the US President's Cancer Panel's (PCP) May findings that American "public officials have 'grossly underestimated' the likelihood that environmental contaminants trigger a large proportion of the cancers diagnosed," by recommending nine ways to avoid environmental carcinogens.
Ken Cook, president of EWG, said in the announcement, "consumers can't wait for the government to take action or for companies to act responsibly by removing carcinogens from their products."
Here are nine tips to reduce your exposure:
1. Filter your tap water: http://www.ewg.org/tap-water
2.Seal outdoor wooden decks and play sets: http://www.ewg.org/reports/allhandsondeck
3. Cut down on stain- and grease-proofing chemicals (also known as fluorochemicals: http://www.ewg.org/Health-Tips
4. Stay safe in the sun: http://www.ewg.org/2010sunscreen
5. Cut down on fatty meat and high-fat dairy products.
6. Eat EWG's Clean 15: http://www.foodnews.org
7. Cut your exposures to BPA: http://www.ewg.org/bpa/tipstoavoidbpa
8. Avoid carcinogens in cosmetics: http://www.cosmeticdatabase.com, don't buy products with "PEG" or "-eth" in their name.
9. Read the warnings: products will increasingly begin to have 'cancer-causing' labels.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2007 cancer was the leading cause of death worldwide (13%) and the US National Cancer Institute reports that two-thirds of cancers cases are due to environmental factors.
WHO also estimates "12 million deaths in 2030" will be caused by cancer worldwide.

Wilson Staff Di11 Iron Set
During Di11 testing, a player at the end of the range hit bomb after bomb as players gathered, admiring the consistently powerful ball flight and the unmistakable sound of a crisp strike. As we explained the technical aspects of the club- the low CG, ultra-wide sole, largest sweet spot, torsional stability- this player turned and announced, "Boys, don't worry about all that. Just hit it, and you'll get it." We couldn't agree more.

Summary | Excerpt | Reviews | Beyond the book | Readalikes | Genres & Themes | Author Bio
Everyone enjoys giggling over translation challenges when they pop up in daily life: Chinese food menus, amateur signs or banners, and idioms that get twisted and contorted when one tries to speak a new language. These linguistic quirks are honest reminders that all people are humbled when trying to operate outside of a familiar language. In Is That a Fish in Your Ear? David Bellos goes beyond the curiosities of translation to probe at the harder questions about translation and its relationship to what he bravely defines as "everything": philosophy, humor, history, technology, international affairs, and the human condition.
Bellos's occupation as a professor of French and comparative literature at Princeton becomes evident a few pages into the book. The subtitle, Translation and the Meaning of Everything, conveys ambitiousness, but in some regards the content reads like recycled ...
Additional Info
The unique title of Bellos's book, Is That a Fish in Your Ear?, is a reference to Douglas Adams's novel The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. In it there is a mysterious fish creature called a Babelfish that lives in a person's ear and performs instantaneous, perfect translations. (Incidentally, "Babel Fish" is the name Yahoo gave their online translation service.)
Watch the video below to hear David Bellos talk about language and how different cultures use words in very unique ways.

Thanks for replies. Perhaps I'll ask Green Thumb what they recommend.
What about weeds? I wouldn't put anything with seedheads or serious roots in the compost but I see some huge dandelions with flowers and long roots have gone in whereas non-woody clippings from shrubs have not.
That should have said they do 4 treatments a year.
As did mine when I did it myself but Green Thumb do treatments a year and this one was (somewhat belatedly) the winter treatment which was just mosskiller and light feed.
I'm coming to the same conclusion, Verdun.
I don't think it did, though I don't know why not. The bill just says they have sprayed with a micronutrient feed that gives good colour; it also helps with the control of moss and indeed (after the 2nd application after I had complained that the first had a series of black lines, with large gaps between) it does seem to have killed off most of the moss. I think I am going to give them the heave-ho and revert to applying a combined moss killer, feed and weed if I can get anyone to do it it for me. Or move to a flat!
I have a similar problem: a cupressus hedge about 10ft high, and about 5ft between it and some espalier or cordon apple trees. New gardener has no suggestions as to what one can plant in this gap but surely there must be something. Primroses self seeded there doing well at the moment, Our side of hedge faces East.
Greenthumb recently sprayed my lawns with mosskiller and a feed and I asked my new gardener to scarify them today to get the blackened moss and any thatch out. He used a slitter rather than my scarifier so didn't get much moss out and then mowed the lawn and put what was collected in the bag in my compost container. When I was doing my own gardening (can't do it now) I never composted the cuttings immediately after moss treatment and certainly not the moss, not that he got much of that out. Is it OK to compost this stuff or would it be best to take it to the dump? I went over one of the lawns with my scarifier and got a lot of blackened moss out. I don't plan to compost it. Who is right?
I know one should cut back flowered shoots to a strong, healthy pair of buds but what about new shoots that have not yet flowered. Does one leave the bud at the tip and not cut back, even if the shoot is not very thick?
Monty Don showed us a handful of crumbly leafmould last week which he said was from last year's leaves. My last year's leaves are pretty much as they were when I put them in chickenwire bays. I watered them when I first put them in but left it to the elements thereafter; they are not covered. I have just transferred the contents of one to the other to make room for this year's and hoped that there would be some usablel leafmould at the bottom but all I found was compacted wet leaves. Those at the top were quite dry. What should I be doing that I'm not?
Thanks. Will leave it till early Feb. then.

Job Description for Sheet Metal Worker
Sheet metal workers generally install ducts for air conditioning, fans, heating, and ventilation.

The abilities to lift heavy items, bend and stoop, and stand for long periods of time are necessary for the position, and some work in confined spaces. Good manual dexterity, welding, and the ability to use hand and power tools are also important. Some tasks are performed independently, but it's also important to work on teams. There is a high risk for injury in this job, so it is essential to perform all work with the utmost care.
Some jobs require sheet metal workers to have graduated from a technical school. Jobs are usually full-time, but can also be on a temporary or per-project basis. Some experience may be required, which can be acquired from apprenticeships or previous employment. Certain jobs may also require a journeyman certification, which can be acquired with adequate work experience and testing.

If the past decade has not witnessed many great publicity coups for Egyptian archaeology of the period from Alexander to the Arab conquest, it has nonetheless been a period of striking developments, important discoveries, and significant change. We have been pleasantly surprised in compiling this newsletter by how many substantial site publications have appeared, sometimes for older excavations, sometimes for newer—the most extraordinary instance being the near-instantaneous publication of substantial parts of the Gabbari cemetery excavated on an emergency basis by the Centre d'Études Alexandrines (CEA). Some Eastern Desert sites have also been particularly fortunate in seeing rapid publication. Field projects increasingly have Web sites that present the results of excavation and survey, at least in summary form, more promptly than is possible with print publication.

Bone Marrow Screening for Aidan Jack Seeger
7320 4th Avenue
There is a bone marrow screening drive for a 6 year old Brooklyn boy, Aidan Jack Seeger, who has been diagnosed with a rare neurological disorder (ADL) tomorrow at OLA. You can also add yourself to his facebook "posse" via this link: http://www.facebook.com/groups/aidanjackseeger
What: Bone Marrow Screening for Aidan Jack Seeger
When: Tuesday, July 19th; 4p-8p
Where: Our Lady of Angels Church
Given last week's tragic and horrific death of young Lieby Kletzky, many people say to themselves: "I wish there was something I could have done to save his life." Aidan's life just might depend on the kindness of strangers coming to his aid and all they have to do is swab the inside of their cheeks with a few q-tips.

Daniel Dhers put on quite a show on his recent visit to Lima in Peru. In an eye-catching project never seen before, Daniel took to riding specially built ramps that had been mounted on to two trucks while those trucks moved around the centre of Lima.
It was certainly an unforgettable experience for the Venezuelan. There were obvious dangers involved due to the moving traffic around him but thankfully there were no real problems to contend with during the riding sessions.
I never did anything like this in my life. Once I did something similar on a boat, but never on trailers ramps… and in movement! .

If you visit the narrow lane located close to the Governor's house in Roshanpura area and ask about Salim bhai saanp wale (snake man), everyone is well-versed with the small office of this snake man-Madhya Pradesh's very own Austin Stevens, who claims to have rescued more than 2 lakh snakes in last 29 years.
Half of the office room is deluged with nearly 100 snakes caught by Salim bhai and the remaining part is full of trophies and citations of Khan—which narrate the tales of selfless service rendered by this man.
Salim Khan (47), who served as a peon with Bhopal Municipal Corporation has been catching stray snakes for free for past 29 years.
"This year I caught around 11800 snakes," he claimed.
Power centres like Governor House, Chief Minister's House, Mantralaya and Chhar Imli–where the residences of ministers and top bureaucrats are based-seek his help regularly when they encounter these 'unwanted' guests in their premises.
Khan once caught a 87 kg and 16 feet-long python from Chief Minister's house during the tenure of the then Chief Minister Digvijay Singh in year 2002.
Moreover, he has been bitten by reptiles multiple times including venomous cobra on four instances says that he has been bestowed divine blessings, which saves him always.
Khan learnt the art of catching snakes from his uncle Ammu Pahalwan-a deputy ranger of forest department.
"It was me who saved snakes in Bhopal as people used to kill them on the very first sight, fearing it might click the photograph of the person it encounters ," Khan said. He also added that he caught 2 lakh snakes which were saved from being killed.
Each fortnight he releases snakes caught by him at either Budhi forest or jungles of Pachmarhi.
He also used to treat people bitten by snakes but discontinued after government refuse to offer him any help when he was himself bitten by a reptile and had to shell out Rs 48,000 from his pocket for the medical treatment.
"Whenever I go to catch a snake, I don't know whether I will return home or not as snakes symbolized kaal (death), so I never allowed my son and daughter to learn this art," he said. He has taught these skills to Deewan Ahuja –a school teacher from Bairagarh in Bhopal.
He, however, smilingly recounts the 2009 instance, when he had handed a snake to the then union MoEF minister Jairam Ramesh and media had lambasted the minister for conveying a wrong message by posing for pictures holding a snake in his hand.
Khan is in charge of the snake centre at Van Vihar national park where the incident took place.
A Muslim by religion, Khan believes in communal harmony and has shivling (Lord Shiva's idol) established inside his office.
The selfless man organized a grand puja on Naag Panchmi followed by a bhandara (mass meal).

Thanks, but no. I grow those - Callarihoe involucrata - or at least I try
to, with only moderate success because we are too far north. It's possible
that what I saw was Mimulus bigelovii, or else Nama demissum, but the
identifying pictures I have are not very clear. Anyway, that trip was a
tremendous experience. We've been to the Big Bend several times, but that
was far the best. We heard that the wildflower bloom was not great last year

Pate A Crepes
|8 Ounce (225 Grams)
|Melted butter
|2 Ounce (50 Grams)
|8 Fluid Ounce (250 Milliliters)
|7 Fluid Ounce (225 Milliliters)
|Vegetable oil
|2 Tablespoon
Sift the flour into a bowl.
Make a well in the centre and add the eggs and melted butter.
Gradually beat in the milk and water until the mixture forms a smooth batter.
Strain the batter if necessary to get rid of any lumps.
Cover and set aside in a cool place for 2 hours.
Brush a heavy frying-pan with a little of the oil.
Place over moderate heat and heat the oil until it is very hot.
Remove the pan from the heat and pour about 4 tablespoons of batter into the centre of the pan.
Quickly tilt the pan in all directions to spread out the batter.
Return the pan to the heat and cook the crepe for just over 1 minute.
Shake the pan to loosenthe crepe.
To see if it is cooked, lift one edge of it with a spatula; it should be light golden underneath.
If it is not, cook for a further 10 seconds.
Turn the crepe over by lifting it up and over.
Brown the other side for 30 seconds.
This side will be less evenly browned and is the side on which fillings should be spread.
Slide the crepe on to a warmed plate and keep hot while you cook the remaining crepes in the same way.

Har Mar Superstar
In the '90s, Sean Tillman performed in both noise-rock band Calvin Krime and the more pop-oriented Sean Na Na while still a teenager in the Minneapolis area. Around the turn of this century, he created Har Mar Superstar, a bombastic hip-hop/R&B persona that delivers suitably single-entendre lyrics. The act is elevated by genuinely clever crafting and songs that result in a sort of high-concept-comedy performance art. While Tillman's shtick plays like the brilliant post-"film" career of a charismatic ex-porn star, he has undeniable singing ability and pop sensibilities; he's even purportedly penned songs for Jennifer Lopez and Kelly Osbourne. On his latest album, Bye Bye 17, Har Mar Superstar continues to turn what would otherwise be cheese into glittery pop perfection.
