A lot has been made over the last several weeks of the similarities between the current economic situation and the events which led up the collapse of the U.S. economy in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Many pundits have made comparisons between what our new president will attempt to do with what Franklin Roosevelt did once he assumed office in March, 1933. In this course we will take a careful look at the causes of the Great Depression and the variety of government measures and programs implemented in an effort to get the economy moving again,
people back to work, and restore faith in financial institutions. In addition we will take a look at whether the measures implemented actually got the nation out of the Great Depression or whether indeed it was the country's entry into the Second World War which really did the trick. In all, we will take a look at U.S. history from the early 1920s to the mid-1940s to find our answers!
The text we will be using is Anxious Decades: America in Prosperity and Depression 1920 - 1941, by Michael Parrish, Norton, 1992.
6 sessions, Monday, 12:30 – 2:30 p.m. March 23, 30, April 6, 13, 27, May 4
Shakespeare will return this spring with a reading of The Taming of the Shrew. This comedy is without a doubt one of the best known of all of the Bard's 36 plays, having been staged many times, made into more than one movie, and is one of the favorite productions of amateur theatrical groups, yet we think we will enjoy looking at the text to see what it really says. Those interested should bring their own text to class.

8 sessions, Tuesday, 10:00 a.m. – Noon March 24, 31, April 7, 14, 21, 28, May 5, 12
The Bible is a complex work with a complicated and obscure history. Made up of sixty-six "books" written by various authors and divided into two testaments, its contents have changed over the centuries. The Bible has been transformed by translation and, through interpretation, has developed manifold meanings to various religions, denominations, and sects. In this book, Armstrong analyzes the social and political situation in which oral history turned into written scripture, how it was collected into one work, and how it became accepted as Christianity's sacred text. We will read and discuss this seminal book in small bites over the 8 weeks.
Coordinator: Toby Hodes*
(Rescheduled from January 28)
One session, Tuesday, 12:30 – 2:30 p.m. March 24
In September, Dorothy Bromage presented a survey of compositions in the musical form Theme and Variations. Part II became necessary due to the large number of excellent examples available, providing further evidence that many composers found theme and variations to be a fulfilling means of expression. Once again, the selections will span the Baroque Era through 20th Century compositions. Once again, the program will start with some ear training and ways that composers play around with a melody. Variations can be seen as well as heard, and this will be demonstrated in several ways. Instruments used to show composition include piano, string quartet, flute, orchestra, and even balalaika. Concluding the subject will be the most famous composition in the form.
Coordinator: Dorothy Bromage*
2 sessions, Tuesday, 12:30 PM – 2:30 p.m. April 21, 28
For our spring opera course, we have chosen LA CENERENTOLA by Gioachino Rossini which will be the Met's high definition broadcast on May 6. This is the story of Cinderella who goes to the ball in spite of the machinations of her wicked stepsisters and, of course, wins the handsome prince. She forgives her wicked family and it all ends happily ever after. We will do it in two sessions, with the second session probably running overtime. We think you will get more out of it if we show the opera in one session. This is a happy, lively opera with a happy ending—one of opera buffo's best.
Coordinators: Betty & Bob Jack*

Ribbon cutting on the new 39th street bridge, one of the four phases of this project.
Workers apply shotcrete facing to retaining walls between W. 39th and Fruit Valley Road, then carve it to resemble a rock surface. Shotcrete is concrete or mortar conveyed through a hose and pneumatically "shot" at high velocity onto a surface.
The wall was stained a burnt umber color and is now complete. Next time you're in this part of Vancouver, drive by and check it out!

Momentum is a tricky thing… If you've got it going your direction, you're golden. But if for some reason, it's not rolling your way – watch out. I've been thinking a lot about momentum in relationship to student ministry lately. Our students are at a point in life where they're gathering momentum in one way or another. The trajectory of their lives is being influenced by the momentum they're gaining today.
While it may seem necessary for a 'well-rounded college resume' there is an inherent danger in the thinking that leads us to propel our kids in 30 different directions at the same time. I wonder if all of our frenzied activity is really doing our kids the good we think it is. What if competing on the debate team, and dancing in show choir, and playing for the chess club and the basketball team, all while maintaining good grades and learning to play the guitar and getting community service credits is leaving our students more tired and confused than it is preparing them for life after high school? What if all the bake sales and school concerts and band tours of Europe leave our students with a lot of experiences to talk about, but less substance to really discuss?
I'm not saying any of these things are bad. But the level of activity to which we as a society subject our kids is dangerous. Instead of the momentum that a student can gain with a focused direction, they get so busy bouncing from one event to the next that they're like a spinning top – lots of movement, but it's not really going anywhere and it's going to topple soon. (And when that top ends up in a dusty pile in your basement in 10 years, it's a little embarrassing and pretty depressing.)
Alternatively, I know some students who have gained a huge amount of momentum over the past few months. They still run in cross country, play in bands, sing in choirs, and stay up way too late doing homework and playing video games – but there's something different. Their activity is gaining focus and direction because these students are getting God's vision for what their lives could be! These kids aren't just staying busy, they are actively infusing the kingdom of God into their lives.
I can't wait to see where the momentum takes them…

For some people the names Nicolas Jammet, Jonathan Neman and Nathaniel Ru do not mean much. For venture capitalists that are interested in the next big thing in the restaurant world, these names are very significant. This is the team that has presented America with Sweetgreen. This may also be the team that takes things even further than America with more than $98 million in venture capitalist money. This is a sweet deal for a sweet expansion that is based on a daring concept that these Georgetown students cooked up.
These restaurants are currently in 10 metropolitan areas, but that is just the beginning of the awesome expansion that is about to take place. People are visiting cities like New York and Los Angeles. They are finding out about Sweetgreen and they are coming back home to tell family and friends about it. This buzz has started to make people curious about this natural of food that is on the market. People have started to praise this company and demand more of these restaurant chains. That is what Nathaniel Ru has to the power to do. He knows how to make people crave something that most people have avoided all of their lives. Nathaniel has made people consider the benefits of healthy food. The ability to keep customers coming back for more is something that Nathaniel has mastered. He knows that this casual restaurant atmosphere is catching the eye of young adults. He knows that the warm bowls are favored by parents that want their children to try healthy foods. Nathaniel has it all figured out, and people want to know what his next move will be.
Right now it is obvious that someone like Nathaniel Ru is planning something big, but he doesn't do it alone. He lives with partners Jonathan Neman and Nicolas Jammet. They put a lot of time into brainstorming at home together. This has made it evident that these co-founders are willing to go the extra mile to take their company to the next level. This is dedication. This is innovation. It is evidence that the growth of Sweetgreen is not an accident. This is a destiny that is fulfilled by innovative buddies that have decided that America needs an alternative. It is a shift in consciousness for the consumers that did not believe that healthy eating could also be satisfying and reasonably priced.

Chicago's Brandy Norwood Gave Her Wiz Audition on the Subway…And It Was Damn Good
July 14th, 2015
by BroadwayBox Staff
Grammy winner Brandy Norwood moved to the Big Apple in April to star (and SLAY) as Roxie Hart in Chicago, and anyone who has ever moved to New York knows, there's a period of adjustment that has to happen. One of the biggest challenges (and most rewarding once you've mastered it) is the subway system. Now Brandy hasn't just mastered the subway, she's made herself at home there. In her latest blog post, she shares a video of her doing a full-out rendition of "Home" from The Wiz on a subway car (incognito, of course) and not getting a single fan moment, a hallelujah, a yas kween...nothing. Brandy, you just chose the wrong car because we would have led a standing ovation for that. Take note, Kenny Leon.
Check out Brandy in 'Chicago' at Broadway's Ambassador Theatre through August 2.

Quote:we had an argument/debate along the same line....DaveandEl
Finest first half display all season.
Shame Brendan Venter text them at half time and asked them to see how good they could defend in the second half!
Bodes well for the back end of the season as the pitches start to dry out.
Great to see Lewi back on fire, great try, always looking to get involved
Ps saw Jonny Williams arriving at the ground, he confirmed he is out for 4 months.☹
Highlights are now available.
Alex Lewington's try which made it 29 - 0 is a thing of beauty.

Though the PC Beta was recently announced to be released today to all those who have pre-ordered Battlefield: Bad Company 2 at participating retailers, EA DICE made a surprise-release of the multiplayer demo for the Xbox 360 today as well.
Apparently, the demo was supposed to be released on February 4th, a full week away, but due to unspecified reasons, the demo was released earlier today. EA DICE later confirmed the news via Twitter, by posting "Surprise Reveal: Xbox 360 Battlefield Bad Company 2 MP Demo is live on Xbox Marketplace! Go get it!!!!!!!".
The multiplayer beta has been available on the Playstation 3 since November 19th. The Playstation 3 will also receive the multiplayer demo, though it is unclear whether it will be available on February 4th as initially planned, or if it will also receive an earlier release. The full game will release on March 2nd in the United States, and March 5th in Europe.
Those who wish to add the Xbox 360 demo to their download queue can go here.

But Sparsh also told to his mom in determined tone dat 'He will marry Swara only'.
N lyk dis every day at Sparsh's home Sparsh n his mom always having arguments related to Swara topic..,
Where as Swara felt bad dat Sparsh's mom rejected her by giving silly excuses,but Sparsh was assuring her dat his mom will get convince soon as his mom loves him a lot,while Swara smiles in replying back as she was having faith on Sparsh's words..,

She came in house,n was surprised to see person in front of her..,
Swara immediately goes towards dat person n gave tightly hug..,
Swara : (excitedly) wat a pleasant surprise Aarohi..!!!!

Swara was abt to say something but interrupted by Aarohi..,
Aarohi : now dnt tell me dat u took dis decision just coz on d basis of liking him..,

'Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami' - Director's take
It's a film that celebrates the common man by dissecting his life and struggles, says director Ravindra Gautam. We catch up with the man behind the camera even as he readies for the release of his directorial debut in Bollywood...
BANNER: Nautanki Films
PRODUCER: Anurradha Prasad, Abhinav Shukla
DIRECTOR: Ravindra Gautam
STARCAST: Anupam Kher, Neha Dhupia, Divyendu Sharma
MUSIC: Ram Sampath
RELEASE DATE: 10th October 2014
Aditi Sharma and Divyendu Sharma in a still from Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami. Divyendu plays Anupam Kher's son in the film. His character thinks that his father should be given Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami (a 21-gun salute) since he led an honest life
What is the USP of your film?
The film has a message; only it's told in an entertaining and satirical manner. It is a film about the confrontation between a father and son; the kind that we see in our day-to-day life. It is not a preachy film, it is a commercial film with its message wrapped in the garb of entertainment.
It is the story of two sons, who think that their father should be given Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami (a 21-gun salute) since he led an honest life. Our film is about a common man, a poor guy who spent his entire life believing that honesty is the best policy.
You have directed TV shows for a long time now. Why the shift to the big screen?
I was a part of the TV industry for 14 years; I directed shows like Kasautii Zindagi Kay, Uttaran, Bade Achhe Lagte Hain and Madhubala. After spending so much time in TV, people start noticing you. The producer of this film saw my show, Madhubala; that's how I got this film. As a director, moving to film direction was a natural progression for me. I hope the journey ahead is an exciting one.
Tell us something about the music of the film...
I believe that music is an integral part of any film. Accordingly, we have three songs in the film. I am glad that Ram Sampath came on board to compose for our film. We told him about the gist of the film and took it from there.
I am a big fan of Subhash Ghai; the songs in his films would take the story forward. I have done the same with my film. The songs are not just there for the heck of it; they are based on the situations in the film. They serve to take the story to another level.
Ravinda Gautam, director

2012 Volkswagen Beetle: Big Time Nostalgia
December 01, 2012
I've owned two bugs and a bus so I'm a sucker for the way VW keeps harking back to earlier decades. I liked those decades. And I liked those cars too, maybe because I could work on them with a screwdriver and a pair of pliers.
All this nostalgia is hitting me because I saw this 2013 Beetle Convertible at the Los Angeles Auto Show. And now I'm lucky enough to be driving our 2012 long termer for a road trip for the next few days.

- Access the ActiveSync Mobile Admin Web page https://<exchange server>/mobileadmin.
- Click the Remote Wipe link, as the figureshows.
- Enter the mailbox name or SMTP address of the user who uses the device and click the search icon, as the figure.
- From this window you can initiate two actions, as the shows. The Delete action breaks the partnership between the device and the Exchange server. The Wipe action remotely wipes the selected device (but not extra installed storage devices) of all information.
- The status will change to "Wipe initiated" and an action of "Cancel Wipe" will be displayed, as the figureshows. If the device is retrieved and used again, you need to activate the Cancel Wipe option or else when the device is used, it will wipe on each sync.
If direct push technology is enabled, the device will be reset almost immediately; if direct push is not enabled, the next time ActiveSync is performed from the device, the device will be wiped and restarted to a blank "new" state. If you check the transaction log link via the Mobile Admin Web site, you'll see the actions of the wipe, as the figureshows.

"How Much Protein is enough for Bodybuilding?" A unique perspective
- A gram per pound of bodyweight.
- A gram per pound of "lean bodyweight."
- 1.5 milligrams per kilogram of bodyweight
- 2 milligrams per kilogram of body weight
- 1 milligram per kilogram of "lean bodyweight."
Added to the question of 'how much protein is enough for bodybuilding' is the question 'how often should you eat protein for bodybuilding?'
We've heard we should eat 'every three hours.'
We've heard we should 'eat every two hours' (hardcore)
We've heard 4 to 6 meals per day… 6 to 8 meals per day… no fewer than 3 meals per day and you'll be alright… and on and on…
Interestingly, I've made great gains with all these (now seemingly superficial) prescriptions (more about that later).
The topic of 'how much protein is enough for bodybuilding' gets no less confusing when those addressing it don't take all sub-issues into account. They'll say, for example, that you need 'X amount' of "protein for bodybuilding" and anything more is "a waste." But this takes no account of the fact that many people who want to build muscle also want to lose body fat and keep it off.
'Bodybuilding Meals': Eating a full meal of protein, carbs, and dietary fats might increase protein synthesis - as might eating less often than the customary 2 to 3 hour intervals.
Why is this important? Because…
- 3.5% to 4% of calories taken in by way of dietary fat are burned by your body in digesting and processing those dietary fat calories.
- 5% to 10% of calories taken in by way of carbohydrate foods are burned by your body in digesting and processing those carbohydrate calories.
- 20% to 30% of calories taken in by way of protein food sources are burned by your body in digesting and processing those protein calories.
In short, protein is more "thermogenic" than carbohydrates and dietary fats. At the same time, protein is filling and can help prevent overconsumption of those other two macro-nutrients that are less thermogenic. This helps keep hunger pangs at bay when cutting calories.
The reason I'm reminding you of this is simple: When someone addresses the 'how much protein is enough for bodybuilding' question, the full range of protein intake benefits should be considered.
Interestingly, when it comes to gender differences in over-eating, women tend to eat too many carbohydrate calories and be deficient in their protein intake while men tend to eat plenty of protein and overload on calories from dietary fats.
"How Much Protein to Build Muscle"… and "How Often": A Unique Perspective
An article titled 'Protein: How much and How often' by competitive bodybuilder Layne Norton challenges some of what's become orthodox knowledge in muscle building; namely, that the body needs a feeding of protein every two to three hours in order to create an anabolic environment conducive to muscle growth. Norton cites research suggesting an interlude of four hours between protein meals might actually be more stimulatory of protein synthesis and thus, more anabolic.
I've linked to the article, but I'll summarize it with some takeaway bullets right here for those in a hurry:
- The human body is extremely efficient at absorbing amino acids. Our nomadic ancestors often required surviving on one meal per day and wouldn't have lasted long if their bodies were inefficient with nutrients.
- The "how much protein is enough for bodybuilding" question isn't one of how much protein/amino acids can be absorbed at a meal, but rather how much protein at a meal gives maximum benefit for muscle building.
- The optimal level of protein at a meal and frequency of meal consumption should be determined by the level/frequency that maximally stimulates protein synthesis.
- The amino acid leucine could be responsible for the stimulatory effect of dietary protein on protein synthesis.
- Approximately 15 grams of 'essential amino acids' are required for maximizing skeletal muscle protein synthesis.
- 15 grams of essential amino acids contain 3.2 grams of leucine.
- To determine how much of a particular protein source you'd need for maximum protein synthesis per feeding, calculate based on how much leucine the source contains. Example: Whey protein contains 12% leucine per gram, so you'd need 27 grams of whey protein to get your 3.2 grams of leucine: 27 x .12 = 3.2. By contrast, chicken is comprised of 7.5% leucine per gram and would require a 43 grams-of-protein serving in order to get the desired amount of leucine: 43 x 7.5 = 3.2
- Assuming maximized protein synthesis by achieving the required leucine/protein threshold at each meal, research shows that each whole food meal containing protein, carbohydrate, and fat raises protein synthesis above baseline for three hours. A whole meal seems to prolong the duration of protein synthesis. Although protein synthesis returns to baseline after three hours, plasma levels of amino acids remain elevated above baseline, and leucine is elevated almost three times above baseline.
- Protein synthesis appears to become refractory to constantly elevated levels of amino acids.
- Eating an additional meal between 2 to 3 hours from the previous one will be unlikely to raise the level of protein synthesis since leucine levels are already elevated at that point anyway.
- Recent research indicates that it may be more beneficial to eat 4 to 6 larger protein meals per day and wait 4 to 5 hours between meals rather than the customary bodybuilding standard of consuming 6-8 meals per day with 2 to 3 hours time between meals.
I've observed anecdotal evidence from my own life that supports Norton's findings on this topic. In my two and a half decades of training, I've certainly never encountered a setback in muscle building progress from allowing hunger to build with a 3 and ½ to 4 hour window to elapse between meals. I typically eat at about the 3 1/2 hour mark and find it to be about right in terms of the hunger/satiation balance. However, the longer I wait beyond this point, the more likely I am to overeat due to hunger build-up.
I encourage you to read Layne Norton's article and share your own experiences/opinions on the 'how much protein is enough for bodybuilding' topic.

Sony threatens to evict naughty gamers from Home
'We know where you live'
Woe-betide any gamer looking to cause a nuisance on the forthcoming PS3 Home entertainment network, because Sony's got its eye on you. The company has announced that it will not hesitate in banning any such gamers and their machines from the service.
For anyone not in the know, the PlayStation 3 Home environment has previously been described by Sony executives as a 3D virtual world inhabited by user created Avatars. It is expected to go live during October.
However, a Sony executive, speaking at the Edinburgh Interactive Festival, has said that serious abusers of the service would soon find themselves locked out by the company.
The executive claimed that "ultimately we know a user's details, we know machine details and we know where they live. If you really, really misbehave you can have your console disconnected at a machine level, so you would actually have to move house and buy a new PS3 before you could get online again".
He stressed that Sony didn't want to become a virtual police force for the network, but said it would create age-restriction areas within it to keep younger gamers locked out of any inappropriate content. The intention is for Home to be a self-policing network, by granting players the ability to block interactions with any other users as they wish.

An ex-CTA employee was sentenced to 4 years in prison today for stealing the personal information of customers to buy merchandise from local department stores, according to the Cook County state's attorney's office.
Miranda Smith, 24, of Chicago, pleaded guilty to aggravated identity theft and identity theft charges after being initially charged in 2007. Smith faced up to 7 years in prison.
Between April and October 2007, Smith, a customer service representative for the Chicago Transit Authority, was responsible for taking calls and credit information from customers to assist them in replenishing their CTA fare cards, prosecutors said. They said Smith stole customer information, including their personal credit card numbers, of 13 customers and used the information to make purchases from local department stores, including Nordstrom and Macy's.

Arlington, Va.
It is possible, even likely, that the United States is preparing military scenarios for invading Iran, but Michael Klare presents too little evidence in "The Iran War Buildup." Except for citing Seymour Hersh on the use of unmanned spy planes over Iran and quoting defense analyst William Arkin on the use of such data ("I would be greatly surprised if they're not doing this"), Klare falls back on an old trick to convince readers he's made a case: "Rumsfeld is no doubt considering a variety of options"; "It is these considerations, no doubt, that are preoccupying US military planners"; "As this information becomes available, it is no doubt being fed into various 'strategic concepts.' " Klare needs to find people in the armed forces willing to give him facts to establish the parallel between the Iraq and Iran buildups. Repeating "no doubt" won't do if he to wants play Seymour Hersh.
Bruce Shapiro's article is the first sensible one I've read in regard to Bush's recent Supreme Court nominee. Most analysts have been saying this was a "home run," since Roberts's record is so short there is nothing to analyze. Shapiro hits the nail on the head, as there is much to glean from Roberts's record. I was intrigued to find out that he had an interview with the President for the position one day before his ignoble decision in the Salim Ahmed Hamdan case. One would think that his judgment must have been colored by the knowledge of his upcoming meeting with the President. The conflict of interest in this case, because of what he had to gain by siding with the President's view, is tremendous. As Alberto Gonzales's legal advice is the advice of a war criminal, Roberts's recent decision is of similar ilk.

My husband has worked at Wal-Mart as a greeter on the graveyard shift for the last three years. Though he's 55 years old, he's never earned $8.50 per hour before. So he stays at Wal-Mart, even though he feels that the managers (and there are many) treat him like a boy, raising their voices at him and ignoring his feelings. He is the only African-American greeter. We have complained, written letters and had others write letters addressing this problem–to no avail. When he greets the managers they ignore him, and when he is ordered to do something they don't address him by name or even acknowledge him first. For example, today one of the managers came in and proceeded to bark orders at him. One of the customers responded by telling her, "Don't talk to him like that." We have gone to a civil rights group, and they advised that he get a group together to file a formal complaint. He will not let them do mediation, as he doesn't want to lose his job by revealing his identity. So he complains, writes letters and just spins his wheels.

Monday night 10 Dec
This notice will be too late to do much good. Just ridden past top of Pexhill on my way home to see a sign saying Road Closed. So that means it's very unlikely to be gritted, so I for one am not going out tonight after all. Shame.
Re: Monday night 10 Dec
It was a flood at the bend prior to the drag up to Pexhill on the outward journey, easily ridden on a (mudguarded) bike.
Re: Monday night 10 Dec
Shame Cheshire East's Highways Contractors don't have any spades etc. It was signed closed all day yesterday too.
For the record there was a similar sign in Snelson/ Astle Lane, which I dismissed and quite easily rode through a shallow flood!
AKA Mr Grub Street - whatever that implies!
Re: Monday night 10 Dec
Just Jim and myself last night, and extra traffic because the M6 was closed! Bit nippy by the end.
Re: Monday night 10 Dec
I missed the camaradie. Spent an hour on the turbo in the garage instead reading a book at the same time. First time I've used the beast for at least a year, or maybe two. Felt at least as tired as usual after a Monday ride.
Re: Monday night 10 Dec
Came back up Pexhill last night, signs still up but no flood. Thanks to Rich for dragging me around three ferocious laps of the circuit, all roads fine and free from ice.

Cycle campaigners in Oxford have hit out at proposals to redevelop the city's Frideswide Square which could see traffic lights replaced with roundabouts, claiming that the measure could result in a "hostile environment" for cyclists.
The present layout of the 'square' – in reality, a mish-mash of a junction, with exits at the eastern end heading towards the city centre, and those to the west heading into the railway station forecourt and under the Botley road bridge – has long attracted criticism due to its layout which can easily catch out the unwary.
But according to the Oxford Mail, plans to introduce mini-roundabouts to ease congestion, which has been recommended by Oxfordshire City Council after it examined four separate proposals, would create an extra hazard for cyclists.
The council claims that by changing the layout of the junction to create narrow lanes for traffic and mini-roundabouts would improve traffic flow while reducing the speed of vehicles, and also provide additional room for cyclists and pedestrians, with seating and a café in the centre of the square possibly being incorporated into the plan.
According to the council's consultation document, " "The layout would be simple and easy to navigate for all users, removing the need for visually intrusive road markings and directional signing."
However, the council acknowledges that "Some pedestrians and cyclists may perceive that the improved square is less safe than it is, due to the removal of push button crossings and the introduction of roundabouts."
Local cycle campaign group Cyclox says that the proposals afford too little provision for cyclists, with vice-chairman Richard Mann saying: "What they are proposing is for roads to be narrowed. We will see the situation that we now have under the railway bridge, where cyclists experience real discomfort and hostility as they try to find a position between cars, repeated on all the approach roads."
The road under the bridge, which forms the main approach to the city centre from the west, has previously been criticised by Cyclox as "the worst place for cycling in the city."
Mr Mann continued: "There is a big risk that a hostile environment is being created for unconfident cyclists. If you let more traffic into the square it will just move somewhere else."
Urban design consultant Graham Smith, who previously taught at Oxford Brookes University, said that cyclists risked becoming "disadvantaged," and that pedestrians would also encounter problems as they tried to negotiate the square.
"There is a dearth of cycle provision," he explained. "Greater cycling and walking measures are needed. I have to say the landscape designs in the option favoured by the council leave me cold."
A council spokesman told the newspaper that the proposed scheme would result in less of a requirement for "formal cycle facilities" applicable on roads with higher traffic speeds.
He added: "Nothing is set in stone. There's a long way to go before we reach a finalised proposal. The county council currently has its entire capital programme under review. This scheme will cost several millions. But funding generally will be difficult to come by because Government grants will be cut."
Born in Scotland, Simon moved to London aged seven and now lives in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds with his miniature schnauzer, Elodie. He fell in love with cycling one Saturday morning in 1994 while living in Italy when Milan-San Remo went past his front door. A daily cycle commuter in London back before riding to work started to boom, he's been news editor at road.cc since 2009. Handily for work, he speaks French and Italian. He doesn't get to ride his Colnago as often as he'd like, and freely admits he's much more adept at cooking than fettling with bikes.

1. AIRFRAME, by Michael Crichton, Knopf, $26
Crichton couldn't have picked a better - or worse - time to write a thriller about an airline accident and how television covers it. An international flight has a few moments of terror 35,000 feet in the air over California. Three people die and several others are injured. An attractive, made-for-the-movies heroine figures out what happened. Coming on the heels of the ValuJet and TWA tragedies, it's a bit macabre. Another bestseller, this time with a clear message: re-regulate the air industry. By Faye Bowers
2. THE CHRISTMAS BOX, by Richard Paul Evans, Simon & Schuster, $12.95
A glorious weep! (A personal caveat: Sadness isn't really the pre-requisite to happiness.) A Victorian attic reveals an ornate box containing sorrowful letters to a lost, little angel. Night music, wafting mysteriously from the box, draws Richard to discover its secret. Once emptied of its sorrowful burden, the Christmas box epitomizes the empty tomb that could not hold Jesus. The joys of family love can conquer a materialistic sense of life and Christmas. Seasonal re-issue from last year. By Mari Murray
3. EXECUTIVE ORDERS, by Tom Clancy, Putnam, $27.95
What if a non-politician, cold-war warrior, average family man, and intelligence expert to boot became president? Clancy's latest and longest - 874 pp. - offers just such a scenario. Jack Ryan (however improbably) is in charge after almost the entire Congress and Cabinet are wiped out. An Iranian plot to create a single Islamic state, abetted by biological warfare and terrorism can't redeem frequent one-dimensional political tangents. Clancy has bitten off more than readers can chew. By Jim Bencivenga
4. SILENT HONOR, by Danielle Steel, Delacorte, $24.95
The latest from this mega-romance author is a cross-cultural tale of love during World War II. In presenting a young Japanese woman facing an internment camp in California after Pearl Harbor, it is more a tale of one woman facing prejudice and deprivation than a romance. As required in this genre, all ends well for our Japanese heroine. But what could have been a fascinating story with original insights is simply pleasant in a formulaic way. By Terri Theiss
5. THE DEEP END OF THE OCEAN, by Jacquelyn Mitchard, Viking, $23.95
This is a straightforwardly written account of a bizarre misfortune that spawns countless complications. Beth Cappadora, mother of three, decides to take her children along with her for a short trip to her 15th high school reunion. Carrying her infant daughter as she registers at the front desk of a hotel filled with her former classmates, Beth tells seven-year-old Vincent to look after three-year-old Ben. Ben disappears. Mitchard's detailed and realistic portrait of the Cappadora family follows. By Merle Rubin
6. The FALLEN MAN, by Tony Hillerman, HarperCollins, $24
This is the 12th detective mystery in the Jim Chee, Joe Leaphorn series. All the components of a Hillerman novel are here: the desert-dry locale, flawed human nature, the patterns of lives that at first randomly, and then pointedly, intersect in a tiny, but intense drama played out in the vastness and beauty of the American Southwest. Skeletal remains of a mountain climber are found highup on a ledge on a sacred Navajo mountain. Time and memory weigh heavily on everyone. By Jim Bencivenga
7. THE NOTEBOOK, by Nicholas Sparks, Warner, $16.95
"The Notebook" proves that good things come in small packages and is all that "Love Story" wasn't. Sparks has a winning combination of style and story. It's a classic tale of love found, lost, and regained that maintains respect for the characters. Poetry and metaphoric description course through the book like the creek that runs alongside the couple's house. Prediction: It will be on this list for months not weeks. By Janet Moller
8. THE CHRISTMAS TREE, by Julie Salamon, Random House, $12.95
The surprise bestseller last year during the holidays was "The Christmas Box," by Richard Evans. This year it's Julie Salamon's, "The Christmas Tree." "Tree" features a young orphan girl who is placed in the Brush Creek, New Jersey convent. The lonely child recruits a Norway spruce - a sapling on the vast property - as her confidant, her best friend for life, which she calls 'Tree.' Based partly on an actual happening, this small story shines with a spiritual message that tugs at the heart. By Mari Murray
9. THE LAWS OF OUR FATHERS, by Scott Turow, Farrar, Straus & Giroux, $26.95
This book is a memoir disguised as a court room drama. Turow creates a world of inner-city drug gangs, the law-enforcement officers who arrest them, the lawyers who prosecute and defend them, and the judges who sentence them. The characters have flash-backs to the '60s and Turow makes the reader wonder if the world changed at all. By confessing all their sins and misdemeanors, they seek meaning in their lives. Violence, profanity, and sex are elements in the story. By Janet Moller
10. "M" IS FOR MALICE, by Sue Grafton, Henry Holt, $25
This is the 13th in Sue Grafton's series starring private detective Kinsey Millhone and one of the best. In the latest, fast-paced installment, Millhone is retained to find Guy Malek, the prodigal son of recently deceased construction executive Bader Malek. Guy's three brothers want to find him but only to ensure he doesn't collect his $5 million share of the family fortune. In addition to the who-done-it, Grafton offers interesting insights on family life and a materialistic society. By David T. Cook
11. THE TAILOR OF PANAMA, by John le Carre, Putnam, $27.95
The master of spy fiction is as charmingly convoluted as ever. The tailor of Panama is Harry Pendal, suborned into a role as spy by a blackmailing British agent, who in turn is trying to bleed the intelligence service, which in turn has run out of reasons for its own existence. Tailor Harry dresses the rich and powerful in Panama listening for important information. There isn't much, but he dresses it up, and gossip turns into intelligence. The characters are all fabulists, vintage le Carre. By Jeff Danziger
12. THIS YEAR IT WILL BE DIFFERENT, by Maeve Binchy, Delacorte, $15.95
Roaring fires. Kisses under the mistletoe. Presents piled high by the tree. These are not to be found in Maeve Binchy's collection of short Christmas stories. Instead, there are cheating husbands, lonely widowers, and estranged children. Yet for each of the characters, Christmas becomes a turning point, and for each there is, if not a happy ending, at least a redemptive one. By Suzanne Maclachlan
13. THE THIRD TWIN, by Ken Follett, Crown, $25.95
The idea of diabolical genetic manipulation is not new to suspense, but Ken Follett has moved the idea from fantasy to possibility, and therein lies the appeal of this engaging thriller. Identical twins are born to different mothers at different times. Investigations uncover the "usual suspects": a racist US senator, an evil corporate entity, and a brilliant scientist gone bad. Follett's only mistake is an overemphasis on sexual violence, which taints an otherwise excellent book. By Tom Regan
14. DESPERATION, by Stephen King, Viking, $27.95
When an oversized cop brutally arrests several travelers driving down a lonely highway in Nevada, they are forced to battle an evil that has wiped out the entire town of Desperation. They face killer creature-inhabited humans and wild desert animals that appeared after an infamous mine shaft was rediscovered. Though the graphic depiction and suspense live up to King's fame, the novel becomes a weak theological contest between the devil and God, who is presumed to be cruel and evil. By Debbie Hodges
15. MY GAL SUNDAY, by Mary Higgins Clark, Simon & Schuster, $23
Henry and Sunday, Mary Higgins Clark's latest dynamic duo, have no less than the Secret Service by their side as they sleuth their way through four short stories. A well-connected husband-and-wife team, ex-President Henry and Congresswoman Sunday unravel mysteries ranging from a murder connected to their former secretary of State to the past of a Latin American dictator. The plots are predictable and their relationship is implausible but the short-story format keeps the pages turning. By Jennifer Green
Monitor's Pick
by Unni Wikan,
University of Chicago Press,
333 pp., $55 (cloth), $18.95 (paper)
Grinding poverty and inner city decay are the ugly face of urban culture.
But the back streets of Cairo offer a different view. In "Tomorrow, God Willing: Self-Made Destinies in Cairo," Unni Wikan takes us into the heart of the poor districts and shows that despite material deprivation, overcrowding, and pollution, Egyptians manage to persevere with "dignity and zest." Daily trials and defeats barely seem to scratch their robust sense of self-worth.
Readiness to forgive and to forge new beginnings allows them to cope - along with endless talking. "Self-made destinies" is how Wikan sums it up, for these Cairene poor have created a stable community for themselves where the streets are safe, violent crime is almost unheard of, and nearly all children are born in wedlock.
What Wikan says rather is that a relationship-driven society can survive even the severest material deprivations and still produce responsible, balanced adults.

Superfast Broadband Coming To 97% Of Dorset
(Updated 2:16pm 10th July 2013)
1:10pm 10th July 2013
(Updated 2:16pm 10th July 2013)
A £31M deal is set to bring superfast broadband to 97% of homes and businesses in Dorset.
BT's putting in over £12M, over £9M will come from Dorset County Council and the rest of the funding is being put up by the Government.
Superfast broad should be available across most of the county within three and a half years.
According to the regulator Ofcom in November 2012, the average downstream speed in Dorset was 8.7 Mbps whilst 13.9 per cent of premises received less than 2Mbps.
The partnership will also aim to ensure broadband speeds of at least 2Mbps in the minority of places where fibre broadband isn't viable.
Councillor Spencer Flower, Leader of Dorset County Council, said:
"It's very important this broadband technology is made available to as many residents and businesses as possible. We want everyone in Dorset to have access to reliable and faster broadband within the next three and a half years and I'm delighted by this announcement as it's a major step forward for our county.
"We know that some residents and businesses are frustrated by slow or no broadband access in Dorset, especially in rural areas - it's one of the biggest issues facing our county.
"With the contract now signed, work on the project can get underway. This will give Dorset the competitive edge it needs to attract new businesses and will empower our communities by providing access to services, jobs, education."
Bill Murphy, managing director of next generation access for BT, said:
"This is great news for Dorset. Fibre broadband will provide a strong, reliable connection to the rest of the world - opening new horizons, helping us to be more efficient and keeping us in touch with vital services.
"Faster broadband will help local businesses grow, attracting inward investment and boosting the local economy. If they thrive then everyone thrives - local businesses are the lifeblood of every community, creating jobs and stimulating growth."
Communications Minister Ed Vaizey said:
"Today's announcement sees Dorset join counties all around the UK already undergoing a fantastic transformation of their broadband services. The UK already does more business online than any other European country, and this project will deliver superfast access to 95 per cent[1] of properties in Dorset, providing a tremendous boost to the Dorset local economy."
James Weld, Superfast Dorset representative from the Local Enterprise Partnership, said:
"Having better, faster broadband will play a major role in strengthening the Dorset business community as well as giving residents greater flexibility to use new technology for learning and entertainment. Improved and faster connectivity will unleash even more of our county's potential."

Illegal immigrants, as well as legal immigrants in the country less than five years, are not eligible for free healthcare through Medicaid. A 2007 study estimated that less than 1 percent of Medicaid spending went to healthcare for illegal immigrants. Proponents of subsidized healthcare for immigrants argue that increased access to basic preventive care will lower the demand for costly emergency care. Opponents argue that immigrants in the healthcare system run the risk of becoming "permanent patients," because they have no relatives, insurance or an established address where they can go once released.
