Some Tame Gazelle was Barbara Pym's debut novel, published in 1950. I thought it was a postwar book, because there are a number of unmarried women, but she started writing it in the 1930s, when she was still very young. It's about two unmarried sisters, Harriet and Belinda, in their 50s but still hoping for love. Belinda has been in love with a man for thirty years, Archdeacon Henry Hoccleve (who had a cameo appearance in A Glass of Blessings), but he married someone else. He also happens to be the priest at their village church and a rather vain and self-important man. Harriet fusses over every curate that comes to work with Henry. She receives regular marriage proposals from an Italian count who lives in the village, a kind man who loves to garden and is working on a collection of letters written by his late friend, a gentleman diplomat well known to all in the village who died in the Balkans.
Belinda and Harriet, and several other unmarried women in the village, lead quiet lives that revolve around church, books, knitting, and what to have for luncheon, tea, and supper. Belinda, despite her thwarted love, is a dependable friend to the Archdeacon and his wife, Agatha. While Pym is clearly commenting on gender roles, and on the differences among high and low church Anglicans (including a moment when Belinda muses that it's easier in the city where clergy can move in theri favorite circles, whereas in their country village the Archdeacon and his neighboring Anglo Catholic colleague make subtle digs at each other), her social commentary is understated.
Pym's humor is also gentle — her characters are decent people even when they act in humorous ways, and she makes no one ridiculous. And some of what I found funny might not have been as she was writing it. Harriet has to hide the corsets she's mending when someone comes to the door, Belinda worries over whether "cauliflower cheese" is a fine luncheon for the woman seamstress who makes and then after taking so much care, faces the fact that it goes uneaten because a caterpillar has stowed away in the cauliflower. There are also some archly funny bits about Belinda's friend Nicholas Parnell, now librarian at their old University. Reading a letter from him:
"Belinda sighed. Dead Nicholas was really quite obsessed with the Library and its extensions. She wished he would remember that the two things which bound them together were the memory of their undergraduate days and our greater English poets."
If it seems frivolous to read this kind of thing while our world is falling apart — while people are dying of COVID, black people are dying at the hands of police because legislators' promises about change have faded away once again, our President is trying to prevent a free and fair election and our government systematically lies to us, well, maybe it is. I think it's more of a defense mechanism. There are more Barbara Pym novels on Hoopla so I look forward to continuing to seek refuge in them.
This Is Happiness by Niall Williams
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged 1970's, book reviews, books, Christine Breen, coming of age, County Clare, fiction, happiness, historical fiction, Ireland, Niall Williams, novels, reading, This Is Happiness on August 11, 2020| 1 Comment »
It had been years since I've read Niall Williams. I own the series of nonfiction books he and Christine Breen wrote about moving from New York to County Clare. We went through a serious phase in our thirties of wanting to live radically differently than we do. We researched various alternatives, and that was how I found the Kiltumper books.
I knew that Williams went on to write fiction (and so has Breen, I learned this evening), but I hadn't read any of his novels until now. This is Happiness caught my eye in the spring when I still thought I'd be ordering new fiction sometime this year for the library. I put a hold on the eBook and just got to check it out last week.
It's the story of Noe, a seventeen year old who has left seminary in the early 70s and comes from Dublin to Clare to visit his grandparents, Ganga, a perennially happy but not very productive small farmer and Doady, his long suffering wife. While Noe is staying with them, their Faha, is being connected to the electrical grid. Not long after he arrives, Christy comes to board. He works for the electrical company and is there to assure the various property holders have signed off on the paperwork necessary to install the poles and lines.
But as Noe learns, Christy is really in Faha on a mission. He jilted a woman fifty years before, and is there to gain her forgiveness. In the meantime, he rides bicycles around the countryside with Noe, seeking a particular fiddle player. An unlikely friendship, this older man who is trying to walk back his regrets and a young one, unsure of his future? Perhaps, but it makes sense. In a way they are both trying to understand how best to live.
Noe is recalling all of this as an old man. Williams weaves the stories through a spring and summer when miraculously, it stops raining. Noe's and Christy's stories unspool slowly, and maybe because I read this book during a week when it was hot and mostly dry, that seemed fitting. At one point, Noe explains his long, winding digressions:
"The known world was not so circumscribed then nor knowledge equated with facts. Story was a kind of human binding. I can't explain it any better than that. There was telling everywhere. Because there were fewer sources of where to find out anything, there was more listening."
Sounds delightful, doesn't it?
The details are so vivid in this book you'll see the "car" Doady and Ganga take to church, pulled by an aging horse, smell the turf smoke, feel the heat that induces naps and the people bumping close together in St. Cecelia's where everyone just moves down the pew and makes space. Williams' musical, witty turns of phrase can help you picture expressions. For example, describing a neighbor:
"Bat was a man who tried in vain to make himself believable. He often looked like he was in mid-sum and realising he had forgotten to carry the one."
And, when Noe develops a truly crushing crush on a young woman:
"I said her name, and, like the first man to eat the egg of a bird, felt a little ascension, and like him wouldn't have been surprised to find feathers at my back."
While we actually never learn whether Noe decides his future, Williams does bring Christy's story to a tidy conclusion. And we learn that it's his philosophy that "this is happiness" — meaning we can be content in the moment, even when things aren't going our way (as they frequently don't, in Faha). Ganga also ascribes to this, as he tells Rushe, and engineer from the electric company, that he and Doady aren't "taking" the electricity which Rushe tells them contains, "In one switch, all the cures for loneliness."
"Aren't we happy as we are?" Ganga asks.
Imagine that. a lovely book about life and love, and yes, happiness.
The Corner That Held Them by Sylvia Townsend Warner
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged 14th century, book reviews, British women authors, convents, English literature, fiction, historical fiction, Middle Ages, novels, nuns, plague, reading, religious orders, Sylvia Townsend Warner, The Corner That Held Them on August 3, 2020| Leave a Comment »
Ever since I read Lolly Willowes a few years ago I wanted to read more Sylvia Townsend Warner. Recently, I was looking for an escape, and picked up The Corner That Held Them. It fascinated me that the same author who wrote a book in which the devil appears as a sympathetic character would write another — considered a masterpiece — about a convent in the English countryside in the 1300s.
Although some people include this on plague novel lists, the Black Death plays a small (albeit pivotal) role in the book. It's really about the human drama of a close-knit community, and about the management of a small convent in the Middle Ages, when such places got by on the dowries rich families paid for their daughters to become novices. And on the rents paid by by nearby tenants, and the manors on which they were founded. Which are some topics I'm a bit hazy on, and I plan to look into further.
The novel tells the story of the nuns' lives — as a community, without dwelling too long on individuals — their ambitions and fears, the way the convent's well being depends on the bishop as well as the bailiff. Which near as I can tell is the property manager or overseer, who manages things like firewood and harvests and livestock. The prioress has some power but must manage up — the bishop, his custos (another kind of overseer, who reports on the management of the convent itself), the nuns' priest (Sir Ralph, who is quite a fascinating character), the families who would place their daughters as novices.
There are a number of dramas of varying impact — a building project that goes awry, some personality clashes that even become violent, and endless financial issues. And towards the end of the novel, an uprising of poor people who are tired of being sent to the king's wars, and tired of the church's wealth. In fact, the pivotal events that lead to a surprise ending are triggered by the uprising, and by a visit from a beggar woman, Annis, who has fallen in with a thief who was raised at the convent.
Annis is working out what to do with a silly nun who wants to sell something (that isn't hers to sell) "for the relief of the poor" when she has a thought that could probably sum up the novel's theme:
"It is not hunger or nakedness that worst afflict the poor, for a very little thieving or a small alms can remedy that. No, the wretchedness of the poor lies below hunger and nakedness. It consists of their incessant incertitude and fear, the drudging succession of shift and scheme and subterfuge, the labouring in the quicksand where every step that takes hold of the firm ground is also a step into the danger of condemnation. Not cold and hunger but Law and Justice are the bitterest affliction of the poor."
Townsend Warner wrote this in the 1940s about the 1300s . . . and it's still an accurate description of systemic poverty.
And the writing took me away. Here's a bit about the family members of Dame Matilda, come to see her installed as prioress in 1368: "Even with one's eyes shut one could tell what manner of folk they were by the smells that came from their garments: an uncle's lined boots, a grandfather's hat, the velvet gown a great-great-grandmother had bequeathed."
Or this description of Sir Ralph, ensconced in his role as nuns' priest: "Now, in his dusty chamber or walking his accustomed rounds, a mere thinking could pierce his heart with pleasure." Townsend Warner lists a number of these pleasurable ordinary thoughts, including, ". . . Saint Paul's transfigured faith suddenly bursting out amid his polished arguments as the face of a satyr looks out from the laurel bush." As vivid a simile of Paul's letters as you'll read.
An entrancing read, as forthright about the problematic power structures of the church as about human nature, entertaining and beautiful and strange. I'll be thinking about this book for a while.

No, California Net Neutrality Law Did Not "Nail" Veterans — Carriers Are Using Vets as Pawns.
Harold March 26, 2021 - 7:24 am March 26, 2021 net neutrality, Series of Tubes, Tales of the Sausage Factory California, net neutrality, veterans, Veterans Affairs, zero rating
It's a cliche villain scene: "Don't force me to kill the hostages. Unless you do as I say, their blood is on your hands." While no one would mistake policy fights for a hostage situation (usually), the same principle applies frequently when challenging industry to stop anticompetitive and anti-consumer practices. Industry will take some anti-competitive practice that provides an apparent marginal benefit to someone sympathetic and threaten that the proposed law change will make it impossible for them to do the "nice" because it stops them from doing the bad thing.
So it is no surprise that after California's 2018 net neutrality law survived it's first day in court, carriers are doing everything in their power to make it look like banning zero-rating (which the California law does to some degree, but not completely. See more detail below.) is bad for consumers. Almost immediate, for example, AT&T announced it would discontinue its anti-competitive practices of zero-rating it's own video product and "sponsored data" from third parties. But carriers have now reached a new low by claiming that California's net neutrality law forces them to discontinue zero rating a specific telehealth program available from the Department of Veterans Affairs. Needless to say, opponents of net neutrality have rushed to trumpet this claim without troubling themselves to investigate whether it is even true.
Spoiler alert: Its not true.
As net neutrality expert and law professor Barbara Van Schewick explained in a blog post immediately after the Politico story broke, California's net neutrality law does not prevent carriers from zero rating telehealth programs for veterans. What the law does do, as it was designed to do, is prevent carriers from choosing a single program among a universe of competitors and anointing this one program as the only program that gets such special treatment. Or, as I explain below, carriers can choose to continue to zero rate the Veterans Affairs program in a number of ways, provided they don't disadvantage other programs that do the same thing (here, veterans health). Mind you, carriers could also decide not to impose artificial bandwidth caps as a means of overcharging consumers and/or favoring their own affiliated content. But hey, where's the fun and profit in that?
I break this out below . . . .

I'm going to call the Basic/Expert/etc line "D&D", distinguishing it from O(riginal)D&D (the white box), and A(dvanced)D&D. D&D is therefor the game we played last Sunday.
c) Halflings retain their Save vs. Death Ray/Poison, and Halfling Thieves retain their racial Hide abilities.
The D&D rules forbid Magic Users letting other magic users copy spells from their books, but don't really explain it except as a cultural prohibition (nobody wants to risk their spell-book); to make this more concrete, copying a spell from a Magic User's book into another book erases the spell, the same way copying a spell from a scroll uses up the scroll. Magic Users teach their apprentices spells by creating a scroll with the appropriate spell, which the apprentice can then copy into their spell book per the usual rules.
What AD&D Character Am I?

Nothing beats watching exciting football in the winter. I have noticed multiple advertisements promoting NFL Sunday Ticket during my recent viewing sessions. This enticing television package enables the viewer to escape regional boundaries. I wasn't previously intrigued by this opportunity. A life alerting announcement was recently released by popular television channel Fox sports.
Johnny Manziel will make his first career NFL start Sunday in Ohio on Fox. This groundbreaking event alerted the game's television coverage. Announcers originally tasked with covering the Packers/Bills were given the opportunity to visit Ohio instead. The league's regional coverage will prevent Midwesterners from experiencing the same luxury.
Spending large sums of money on services you will only use once isn't smart. There are exceptions to the rule. If you're from Ohio, have an affiliation to Texas A&M or cheer for the Browns, I recommend purchasing NFL Sunday Ticket.


"JustUs" - So that explains what it is about?
As seen in the transcript below, during the August 28, 2018 LW Board meeting, board member David Frager asked LW General Manager Kevin Flannery about "pictures showing water damage and what have you."
"Ya know, a picture of a PVC pipe coming off a roof that hangs a little bit over a gutter - number 1 it's not a storm drain, it's a condensate line. Ya don't have gushing water coming out there, it's a slow drip. So some of the pictures, ya know there's obviously a motivation to make management look worse than what we are, and that we don't pay attention and that's just not the case and I think on any given day, if someone wishes to walk through the trust properties you're going to find something. These are big buildings ya know and there's a lot of 'um. But that doesn't dismiss our responsibility to be a bit more aware and responsive.
There are some areas that Tom and I are going to sit down and talk more about regular and routine inspections and accountability - a picture of a PVC pipe that hangs there's some areas out there that Tom and I both admit need some cleaning up - whether it be some power spraying or looking at a downspout here and there. We'll get on 'um."
Sitting silent and saying nothing about the inaccurate statements being made by his boss, was Tom Snyder, Vice President and Assistant General Manager for Facilities & Services. As is their usual posture, the board of directors representatives sat silent as they lapped up Flannery's inaccurate attempt to downplay and dismiss the significance of the water draining from the roof and condensate lines flowing directly onto the ground, versus going into a gutter.
Mr. Flannery's statement "if someone wishes to walk through the trust properties you're going to find something" is spot on.
As seen on the "JustUs" website, there is a whole lot more proof of "something(s) going on" i.e. rust, dirt, cracking and chipping of painted surfaces as a result of the General Manager's neglected responsibility to properly maintain trust properties.
According to the Leisure World governing documents - OUR money- OUR mandatory fees are for the purpose of maintaining the trust properties in good condition.
• WHY are the Trust properties in such disrepair?
• Why has the LWCC BOD allowed the General Manager and his employees to mismanage the funds in this manner?
• WHY is the LWCC BOD being allowed to continue not doing anything about it?
DID YOU KNOW: On August 28, 2018, in a closed session and in violation of the CCOC stay on any contractual expenditures, the LWCC Board of Directors extended Kevin Flannery's employee contract for one year.
How fortunate for residents--more of the same - an employee being paid $204,000 plus all paid benefits - doing nothing for another year.
One would think that the drains should be going into gutters rather than allowed to be left standing on the roof. Leaving water on the roof increases the likelihood of water seeping into the building.
Notice how much water remains on the roof after three or four days of sunny weather?
Notice in the picture below, that leaves clutter the drain blocking the water from going into the drain.
Rust dominates a lot of trust properties and equipment.

The recovery process does not become unsuccessful if you go back to rehab. One must regularly decide to adhere to the process of rehabilitation because the battle against dependence is not one that can be won in a day.
Health reasons and relapse are the some of the factors that cause people to go back to the rehab facilities.
Understanding these statistics is essential and addicts who are starting life afresh all over again are encouraged to protect their sobriety by utilising support services for aftercare and the 12-step programs. Knowing how to address a relapse promptly is imperative to stay drug-free for life.
If a slip occurs it is very vital that you open up to your sponsor or counsellor so you can be offered assistance in coping. Acknowledgment of the event is key so you can start in enlisting the help and support to avoid another instance from happening. However, if a relapse has occurred, it is extremely important to stop using the substance and obtains help right away.
Two methods can be used to determine whether you are a fit case for a rehab again. The duration of your drug or alcohol abuse and the intensity will need to be evaluated in the determination to be completed. It is important for you to be able to keep a good head and identify an isolated case and a relapse.
Most times, regression shows that the management needs fine tuning and not that there is total failure of the therapy. Relapse is really just a looming shadow waiting for the chance opened up by your weakness and indiscretion. Sometimes, a user starts using the drug more intensely in a relapse than before. It is the feelings of shame and guilt, which provide for the impetus to drive the substance abusing behaviour with the sole intention to number any uncomfortable emotions. These feelings along with other factors contribute to a more challenging predicament that the patient undergoes. A relapse must be considered seriously because a return to drug, and alcohol abuse can have dangerous or even fatal consequences.
To come out of addiction, continuous effort needs to put.
Rehabilitation from alcohol or other substances should be sought immediately if you regressed. In order for the person have no contact with substances and to regain discipline, one should restart rehabilitation instantly.
One important method is to make sure that they g back to a rehab that has complete approach to the one they were in before.
Cognitive-behavioural therapy [CBT] is a commonly used mode of therapy to deal with addictions. Learning about reactions to some initiators both living and non-living factors that promote the urge to use alcohol and other substances is one of the importance of CBT. During a return visit to a rehab information about how people can respond differently to these triggers and how to avoid them completely is something that can be learned and can also be worked upon.
Taking a look at the events or emotions which may have triggered the relapse and learning how properly to deal about these issues in the future are also extremely important. Achieving a state of relaxation via meditation, breathing, and other techniques help the patient in dealing with stressors. All these practices can provide recovering addicts the help, they need to manage stressful situations after the treatment program has ended.
It takes commitment for someone to go back to the rehab after a relapse and such efforts need to be commended. This means that a person is really interested in living a clean life and they are ready to do what it takes to achieve that.
After experiencing a period of sobriety earlier recovering addicts often completes their second visit to the rehab and becomes even more dedicated to their recovery and determined to sustain the education for a lifetime. To accomplish a sustained abstinence, re-doing rehabilitation after regression is recommendable.

BELARUS REPORT ON HUMAN RIGHTS to the UN: 266 recommendations to the government
Posted on November 14, 2020 by admin — Leave a reply
6 November the Association Razam.Ch held an Online Briefing regarding the results of the Universal Periodic Review of Human Rights in Belarus, which took place on November 2 at the United Nations Office in Geneva. As we reported earlier, the delegations who took the floor have positively assessed the relative progress in the sphere of human rights in the country in 2016-2019 years, however they criticized a cruel and widespread use of violence towards participants of peaceful protests against the rigged presidential elections in August 2020. Every speech ended with recommendations. Belarus received 266 recommendations from 92 countries. While recommendations have no binding effect the government will nevertheless have to announce their decision on each one of them before March 2021. Below we provide a summary of recommendations.
Recommendations related to the events of the past months in Belarus:

France, Romania and Norway recommended to fulfil the obligations under international human rights treaties concerning free and fair elections , including to comply with all election recommendations of the OSCE/ODIHR as indicated in the reports of their observation missions (recommendations from Germany, Romania, Sweden).
Panellists also expressed recommendations to facilitate the rules regulating registration of civil society organizations and political parties (Peru), publicly recognize the role of human rights defenders and ensure their support so that they could carry out their human rights work without harassment and intimidation (Slovakia), and grant, both in law and in practice, total independence of the judiciary (Albania).

Senegal and Mexico recommended to ensure the social integration of Roma people, including development of programs aimed at increase of school attendance. Afghanistan recommended to take measures for protection of refugees, migrants and asylum seekers from torture and ensure protection of migrant children.
Lebanon, Azerbaijan, Ethiopia, Myanmar, Philippines, Sri Lanka spoke about promotion of rights of vulnerable groups, especially people with disabilities.
The creation of an independent national human rights institution was also mentioned in the speeches of 11 countries including Sudan, Senegal, Malaysia, Burkina Faso, Pakistan, Afghanistan and the Philippines.
While Vietnam recommended to take further measures aimed at achieving the sustainable development goals, the Holy See recommended to ensure removal of restrictions on the right to freedom of religion and belief, and the Republic of Fiji emphasized the necessity of reinforcing the legislative framework aimed at addressing cross-sectoral environmental problems including climate change.
The recommendations also regarded adoption of further measures to promote and support the institution of family (Egypt, Iran, Laos and Nicaragua), and develop a national strategy for poverty reduction with particular emphasis on children and families who are in a vulnerable position was recommended by East Timor. Similar recommendations on the need to fight poverty, especially in rural areas and further improve medical services in rural areas, were voiced by Turkey, Iraq, Algeria, and Myanmar.
Cuba recommended to continue strengthening essential health services, particularly for the older persons and other vulnerable groups of population, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Holy See has recommended to improve access to and quality of health care, including psychiatric care for prisoners, as well as increase the number of professional medical staff in all places of detention. Iceland made the recommendation to abolish mandatory testing and HIV transmission criminalization. Myanmar recommended strengthening current measures aimed to prevent youth suicide by strengthening anonymous counselling and hotline services.
The recommendation to establish a national dialogue with civil society came fromJapan, Kazakhstan, Lebanon, Lithuania, Norway and Romania, among others. The United States recommended engaging in genuine dialogue facilitated by the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office with representatives of Belarusian civil society including women leading the protests.
A number of countries have made recommendations on women's rights, including:
developing and implementing a new national action plan for gender equality (Burundi),
taking concrete measures to reduce the gender pay gap (Angola),
guaranteeing equal access to work to women (Greece),
combatting negative stereotypes about women in the world of work (Angola),
promoting equal access to technical and vocational education (India
taking measures aimed to raise public awareness of gender discrimination in consultation with non-governmental organizations (Burkina Faso, Burundi)
adopting necessary legal measures and reforms to prevent violence against women, in particular domestic and sexual violence (Ecuador, Fiji, the Philippines, Brazil, Costa Rica , Peru, Portugal, Malaysia, Angola, Croatia, Kuwait).
The children's rights were addressed by Malaysia, who spoke of the need to develop a comprehensive strategy to prevent all forms of violence against children; Brazil, made the recommendation to make sure poverty and disability are not used as an excuse for depriving children of parental care, reform juvenile justice system to guarantee the respect of children's rights and the best interests of the child (Germany, Spain), increase the access to education for children with disabilities (Afghanistan, Algeria, Singapore).
A separate place is taken by the recommendations starting with the words "continue", "make serious efforts", "consider", "take further steps to". China started their speech from "please, continue" saying "Continue to pursue the human rights development path suitable to its national conditions", North Korea said "Continue implementation of social oriented policies aimed at further improving the well-being of citizens", the same regards Ethiopia, Syria, Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Algeria, Egypt, Turkey and India, among others. Most likely Belarusian Government will accept these recommendations in the first place.

Q: JS - Require & child-process I wanted to make a command from my code so I created a js file and started testing. I only want to do a "dir" (ls but on windows).
I have this in my functions.js:
window.setInterval(function(){
    const { exec } = require('node:child_process');
    exec('"dir"', (stdout, stderr, err)=>{
        console.log(stdout, stderr, err)
    });
}, 1000);

But it didn't work and I have this error popping up:

Uncaught Error: Module name "node:child_process" has not been loaded
yet for context: _. Use require([])
https://requirejs.org/docs/errors.html#notloaded

I think I'm understanding why this isn't working but I don't know how to make it work. Can somebody explain it to me please?
EDIT
I  still have this problem but I'm going forward...
Now, in my console I have:
'Échec du chargement pour le module dont la source est « node:child_process ».'
while my code is :
import { exec } from 'node:child_process';

And my function looks like this:
let first = true;
const timer = 60000;    //in milliseconds

/**
 * Make a command prompt and write in it the command for checking if there are sessions which need to be deleted.
*/
function deleteOverSessions(){
    console.log(first);
    exec('echo %cd%');
    if(first){
        exec('cd ../../..');
        first = false;
    }

    exec('symfony console session:check-and-delete-finished-ones', (error, stdout, stderr) => {
        if (error) {
            console.error(`error: ${error.message}`);
            return;
        }

        if (stderr) {
            console.error(`stderr: ${stderr}`);
            return;
        }

        console.log(`stdout:\n${stdout}`);
    });
}

PS: It works if I start the script in a terminal but not if I launch the page in a browser
Does somebody know how to solve this problem?

A: You are confusing the require function provided by Require.js with the require function provided in CommonJS modules for Node.js.
While they are both tools for loading modules, they are tools for loading different kinds of modules.
The node:child_process module is built into Node.js and is not available in web browsers (which, for hopefully obvious security reasons,  have no features for running arbitrary executables on the user's computer!)

Music can't make intelligence soar: Study
dc/ pti
Harvard experts trash the notion that claims music improved intelligence and cognitive abilities in children.
Hyderabad: Mozart can't help you with that homework, scientists at Harvard have determined. A team of experts from the University have trashed the popular notion which claimed that music, in general, improved intelligence and cognitive abilities in young children.
The study also proves at least 80 per cent of Americans wrong and altogether dismisses the highly-debated, 'Mozart effect'.
"More than 80 per cent of American adults think that music improves children's grades or intelligence," said Samuel Mehr, a doctoral student at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.
He is also working in the lab of Marshall L. Berkman and Professor of Psychology Elizabeth Spelke.
"Even in the scientific community, there's a general belief that music is important for these extrinsic reasons, but there is very little evidence supporting the idea that music classes enhance children's cognitive development," Mehr said.
The notion that music training can make someone smarter, Mehr said, can largely be traced to a single study published in a journal called Nature.
In it, researchers identified what they called the 'Mozart effect'- after listening to music, test subjects performed better on spatial tasks.
Though the study was later debunked, the notion that simply listening to music could make someone smarter became firmly embedded in the public imagination.
Though dozens of studies have explored whether and how music and cognitive skills might be connected, when Mehr and colleagues reviewed the literature they found just five studies that used randomised trials.
Of the five, only one showed an unambiguously positive effect, and it was so small- just a 2.7 point increase in IQ after a year of music lessons that it was barely enough to be statistically significant.
To explore the connection between music and cognition, researchers recruited 29 parents and four-year-old kids.
After initial vocabulary tests for the children and music aptitude tests for the parents, each were randomly assigned to one of two classes- one where they would receive music training, or another that focused on visual arts.
Among the key changes Mehr and colleagues made from earlier studies were controlling for the effect of different teachers unlike other studies, Mehr taught both music and visual arts classes and using assessment tools designed to test four specific areas of cognition, vocabulary, mathematics, and two spatial tasks.
The study's results, however, showed no evidence for cognitive benefits of music training.
To replicate the effect, Mehr and colleagues designed a second study that recruited more participants, 45 parents and children, half of whom received music training, and half who received no training.
Just as in the first study, Mehr said, there was no evidence that music training offered any cognitive benefit. The studies are described in the journal PLOS ONE.

City enthusiasts prefer goa festival
Hyderabad: The Sunburn Festival might be coming to the city in February next year, but it seems the Electronic Dance Music enthusiasts in the city want to have double the fun. Music lovers are already gearing up for the famed festival to be held from December 27 to December 29 at Vagator village in North Goa this year.
The area for Sunburn 2013 is also said to be much bigger than in the previous years. Organisers said that the festival would have the largest single stage with nearly 120 artistes performing. Music lovers from the city are thrilled by the bigger scale of the music festival.
D Vishnu, an advertising professional, said, "Sunburn is coming to Hyderabad and other cities as well, but the original is always the original. I wouldn't want to miss it."
The organisers of the Sunburn Festival said this year will have people arriving from as many as 36 different countries.
They said they are expecting attendance from countries like Spain, Brazil, Sri Lanka, Mauritius, Australia and the United States among others.
"I am planning to go this year for the first time. And I am thrilled from what I hear about the Sunburn," P. Mayuukh, a student, said.

Soothing music, a hit in city labour rooms
Hyderabad: Old Telugu and Hindi songs are a big hit in labour rooms of corporate hospitals, while soft instrumental music is preferred in Intensive Care Units.
Doctors believe that music therapy reduces blood pressure and helps bring down a patient's anxiety level.
In the labour rooms too, music soothes the expectant mother by diverting her attention and most hospitals have music playing in labour rooms.
un-Supported Media
Dr Manjula of Beams Hospital said, "The therapy does work on patients. Mostly on those who to listen to music on their phones regularly.
Patients are asked whether they would like to opt for it. We do have a music system in the labour room and most opt for old Hindi or Telugu songs. It diverts their attention from pain and that is what helps."
Doctors at Care Hospital, Nampally, also believe in the therapy of music while performing angiograms. Dr S. Vijay Mohan of Care Hospitals said, "We have made it a point to ask our patients whenever we take them for angiograms what kind of music they would prefer. Some of them are shocked, but it is found to work well as they tend to get relaxed and that's the first step towards getting a good response during the procedure."
Doctors believing in music therapy in fact have got together and formed a "Medi-Melody" group for their own relaxation.
Experts also say that the therapy has even worked on patients in coma and those on life-support systems.
Dr K. Narsimulu of Kamineni Hospitals said, "There have been eye movements in patients when they have been made to listen to music via earphones.
There is an impact and its effect can't be ruled out. Along with traditional methods of treatment, the therapy of music is an effective mechanism."

Q: Python 3: Nested for loops skipping nested loops import csv

data = {}
f = open("train.csv")
csv_f = csv.reader(f)
labels = next(csv_f)
for i in range(len(labels-1)):
    a = []
    for row in csv_f:
        a += row[i]
    data [labels[i]] = a

I am doing the code above trying to read a csv file and put the columns into a dictionary with the first part as the labels and the second part as the arra of the values. This works for my first column, which for my data set is 'ID', but it stops working after that -- it just leaves the a array as blank. I did some debugging and found that it was doing the outer for loop then the inner loop, but then when it did the second run through of the outer for loop, it just skipped the inner for loop. It did that for all subsequent ones also.
Why does it do that?
And how can I fix my code to make it stop?

A: Like Kevin says above I think the issue is that after your first iteration through csv_f you would have to reset the csv reader back to the beginning of the file. This algorithm requires you to parse the entire file many times to collect all the data though. A more efficient algorithm would parse the file row by row. I haven't checked this code so it might not be 100%, but hopefully it points you in the right direction.
import csv

data = {}
f = open("train.csv")
csv_f = csv.reader(f)

isLabelRow = True

for row in csv_f:
    print "Processing row : " + str(row)
    if isLabelRow:
        # Get labels from first row of data
        labels = []
        isLabelRow = False

        # Initialize data "columns"
        for label in row:
            print "Processing label : " + label
            labels.append(label)
            data[label] = [] # empty array

    else:
        # Add each item in the row to the appropriate "column" in data
        for i in range(len(row)):
            data[labels[i]].append(row[i])

Facebook to roll out 'Face Recognition' privacy feature
Posted - September 05 2019 01:34
For starters, Facebook says that, previously, it only used facial recognition technology for the "tag suggestions" feature, which scans photos for your friends' faces, and suggests you tag them if you wish (manual tagging has always been an option, too).
The old feature enabled users to choose whether Facebook could suggest that their friends tag them in photos, without giving them control over other uses of the technology.
"People who newly join Facebook or who previously had the tag-suggestions setting will have the face-recognition setting", the company said.
People who had the tag suggestions setting turned off will see a notice about face recognition and a button to turn it on or keep it off.
Facebook today introduced it'd be rolling out its facial recognition settings to everybody - and that and that it'd be turned off by default for brand new users.
How do I turn off Facebook Face Recognition?
Ultimately, Facebook was ordered to adhere to a number of new measures around its face recognition technology, including educating users on how it works and requiring the company to obtain their consent if their data is used for reasons beyond what was explicitly outlined by the company. For example, Facebook has been fighting accusations that it violated biometric privacy laws in the state of IL by allegedly misusing users' face data. This allowed the company to automatically suggest tags based on your friends list, in a feature called "tag suggestions". This controlled tag suggestions, as well as the ability for Facebook to alert users if their photos were being used by someone else on the platform. As a part of this feature, Facebook notifies its users about pictures and posts where he or she may be present but have not been tagged. You can simply switch it on or off via the Face Recognition tab in Facebook's settings.
The changes are now in effect all over the world, and some users with specific settings will start seeing prompts to decide in to face acknowledgment beginning today.
That decision was the first time a federal appeals court has delved into privacy issues related to facial recognition technology, according to the American Civil Liberties Union.

This sophisticated mashup of the campfire classic uses Nutella to bind the graham cracker crust and coffee to deepen the chocolate flavor in the rich ganache filling.
Place chocolate and butter in a large bowl. Bring cream, coffee, and 2 tablespoons water to a boil in a small saucepan. Remove from heat; cover and let steep for 5 minutes.
Meringue Using an electric mixer with clean, dry beaters on medium speed, beat egg whites in a medium bowl until light and frothy. Add sugar in 4 additions, beating for 1 minute after each addition. Continue beating egg whites until stiff and glossy.
An edit from my previous review: I made this pie for a friend who is intolerant to dairy products (she can eat nutella and margarine). I swapped butter for margarine and cream for coconut milk. The end result was just as awesome as the original recipe, I couldn't taste the difference.
SWEETTOOTHDUO: we've made this pie a few times. We use 4 eggs for the meringue, and it does look pretty much as creamy as the picture. It's a pretty impressive dessert :) Does anyone know if there's a way to substitute the dairy products in this recipe? I'm making it this weekend for friends but one of them is intolerant to dairy products, even butter will make her sick.
There is NO WAY that topping in the photo used only2 eggs! Plus, it looks creamier than regular meringue topping. It looks like Italian meringue, which tastes more like marshmallow anyway. I think it would be a better substitute, the egg whites would be heated, etc.
Broiling works to give it a browned top. Put it on the top 3rd rack & only for 5 minutes or less - keep an eye on it. I put it on the very top rack for probably 5 minutes, & it burned a bit. If I made this again I would half the chocolate ganache - it's SO rich and dense, half of what the recipe calls for would be plenty. Couldn't really taste the coffee or nutella, so I might add more of both to the halfed ganache ingredients. I doubled the meringue after everyone's suggestions - 4 eggs, 1 cup sugar was perfect amount of topping.
Has anyone ever tried putting this under the broiler to toast the meringue? I don't have a torch, bu I think it would look so much prettier.
Raging success! The boys (9 & 11) gave it 12 thumbs up! I am making it again for New Year's dinner. Super simple. I did substitute instant espresso powder. Warning: don't expect your pie to look like the photo. I went through two attempts to get the meringue to the volume as shown, didn't happen. What gives BA?
For the topping, I doubled the egg whites, left the amount of sugar unchanged (1/2 cup), and added a pinch of salt. This was perfect. I took a shortcut by using one packet of via instead of brewing the coffee. My entire extended family loved this pie. Great combination of flavors, and love the nutella in the crust.
Wonderful!! I changed the crust to a basic baked graham cracker crust with equal parts crumbs and ground pecans & used the marshmallow meringue topping that someone else suggested. Also used decaf coffee. A real winner.
made as a tart instead of a pie. the crust was delicious. the coffee ganache was a nice change of pace. doubled the amount of meringue as was suggested in earlier reviews---and was glad I did. there were no left-overs, and many requests for the recipe. will definitely be making this again.
Very rich desert, but so tasty for a chocolate lover like me - I was good with a small portion. I used the meringue from this recipe as it actually has marshmallow in it - http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Sweet-Potato-Pie-with-Marshmallow-Meringue-240425. I also used hazelnut flavored coffee to compliment the Nutella. Yum!
The flavor and texture of this pie are excellent. I forgot the butter in the chocolate portion so it would have probably been even better. I also think there is not enough meringue so I added another egg white. The crust with the crushed chocolate, graham crackers and Nutella are like a candy bar and would be a terrific topping on their own. The pie is extremely rich so small portions would work best.
AMAZING! I should have done what another cook recommended and doubled the meringue, but it was still delicious. This is my new go-to dessert - it was a huge hit at a 4th of July bbq!
This was a huge hit! It's very easy to make, especially on a hot day. I doubled the egg whites and sugar for the meringue. I doubt that two egg whites would be enough. Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly and will definitely make it again.
The chocolate portion of this pie is too intense. Can't hardly taste the graham cracker portion, and there isn't enough "marshmallow" topping.

Fees, less parking mark new plan for Market-Octavia
Two-way Hayes Street is part of proposal that would try to relieve area congestion
Under a new proposal for the Market-Octavia area, Hayes Street traffic could run two ways, fewer parking spaces would be provided to new residents and developers would pay special fees under a proposal for the area.
The latest incarnation of the Market and Octavia Neighborhood Plan — which calls for 4,400 new housing units by 2025 in the area of Market Street between Van Ness Avenue and Church Street, including the new Octavia Boulevard — would provide less than one parking spot per housing unit as is the standard under The City's planning rules.
"Too much parking creates a suburb [like] Mountain View," said Jason Henderson of the Hayes Valley Neighborhood Association at a presentation of the plan at The San Francisco Planning and Urban Research Association. "Too much space for automobiles makes it less livable."
The neighborhood plan has been in the works for more than six years and is scheduled for review by the Planning Commission this month. The plan, which offers a policy framework for development, includes controls such as maximum building heights (400 feet), land use, building designs, parking, and loading and open space. The plan is long overdue largely because the environmental review of the plan was not completed while the plan was taking shape, city planners have said.
The neighborhood, which once had a portion of the Central Freeway shadowing it, has changed its image, City Planner John Billovits said. That, in conjunction with rising real estate values, makes it a prime spot for development, he added.
In another attempt to mitigate traffic congestion in the area, which is likely to be home to twice as many residents, Hayes Street, which runs east to west, would be transformed into a two-way street.
The new configuration would encourage cars to drive slower and would create a more pedestrian-friendly neighborhood, planners say.
A development fee to cover the costs of green space and other neighborhood improvements is also being floated.
Developers that want to build in the area would have to pay an additional $10 per square foot for residential development projects and $4 per square foot for commercial development.
The fee proposal is aimed at generating $68 million for public improvements, roughly half of which would pay for open space.
"It's another piece of the public benefit plan," Billovits said. "We're asking for partial payment for the impact. We're just asking them to fund a portion" of the costs.
The South of Market multitower development of Rincon Hill imposed a similar, controversial fee upon developers.
Developers have thus far not criticized the latest fee proposal, said AnnMarie Rodgers, a planner with The City.
The neighborhood plans are designed to avoid piecemeal planning in areas measuring 40 acres or more. It includes long-term planning guidelines that span decades. If the Board of Supervisors later endorses the plan, it would become a part of The City's general plan, which governs development.

The latest denim trend is to leave the hem alone. Yes your new jeans maybe too long but instead of sending them to the tailor, cuff them up to achieve the length you wish for. Sounds strange but I have said it before the bigger the hem or cuff the longer your leg looks. As reported in Vogue this un-tailored trend seems to be spreading from "rolling up" the cuffs to "releasing the hem" to give an unfinished frayed look.
It's an easy look to achieve giving you an option on the length depending on your heel height.
Marques' Almeida's raw frayed flares and cut of waist band have been one of the most coverted jeans this season ( Liberty have a couple of the pink flares left).
Coveting a pair of Rachel Comey Legions or something similar here's plenty of styles to give you that unfinished feel.
Denim label RE/DONE have won their notoriety by re-working the classic Levi's jean. They simplify the process of trawling around vintage stores and markets looking for just the right age of denim or size and then put their spin on the style and their new Re/done/Levi's white label. The latest Elsa style is a must have high-rise style with a baby bell flare and a side slit in the middle of the cuff that falls to the floor. Perfect if you have supermodel legs such as Elsa Hosk (a Victoria Secret model) who's the namesake of the jean.
Elsa Hosk in the Elsa Jean.
Back in the day I side split and frayed my Lois jeans to fit in with the 80's casual trend, not sure why, I think it was to show off the trainers. Today looks like the trend is back!
Got a stack of jeans in your closet that could be transformed into Falls most coveted jean? With a bit of DIY you can re-create and turn those frumpy jeans into something splendid and hot right now, So here's how to release the hem. Or feeling you need that frayed edge- see below Style Savvy shows us how.
While writing this post I've frayed a pair of grey jeans and cuffed an old pair of Hudson jeans!

Sharks jump on Blues early, win opening game of Western Conference final
May 12, 2019 stlsportspage St. Louis Blues, Uncategorized 0
By Lou Korac
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Mistakes, mistakes, and more mistakes.
The Blues made them, the Sharks cashed in on them and made the Blues look rather pedestrian in Game 1 of the Western Conference Final.
The Blues looked listless and sloppy, and San Jose pounced on seemingly every casual mistake made and took Game 1, 6-3, on Saturday at SAP Center.
The Blues, who trail the best-of-7 series 1-0 with Game 2 set for Monday at 8 p.m. here, made mistakes that were reminiscent of those made in Game 4 at Dallas in the second round.
But there were more of them here and much worse.
A team that thrives off solid puck management, one that got timely saves when needed and one that prided itself on playing the kind of hockey necessary to win, had none of that tonight.
It started early in the game with Alex Pietrangelo, and filtered throughout the rest of the defensive unit, in particular.
"Yeah, it just seemed like every opportunity that they were getting in tight, it was finding a way to get in the back of the net," Pietrangelo said. "We gave them a lot of their opportunities. We were a lot better there in the third, a lot tighter."
The Blues have had games when their gaps are too big, and their five-man game is too spread out, but Jordan Binnington would be there to bail out some of those deficiencies. That wasn't the case tonight. He didn't bail his teammates out and allowed five goals on 24 shots.
"Far from the issue," Pietrangelo said. "I've said that before. Those goals that were going in aren't on him, those are on us."
Asked if he considered pulling Binnington after the second just to give Binnington a reprieve and give Jake Allen some time, Blues interim coach Craig Berube said, "No. None."
The Sharks line of Logan Couture, Timo Meier and Gustav Nyquist were the biggest beneficiaries of the Blues' gifts with four goals, four assists.
"I think they just capitalized on their chances tonight," defenseman Joel Edmundson said. "It could be a different game Monday. Dallas guys, they had their games too. Like I said, we'll put this in the past and we're looking forward to Monday.
"… Stuff happens. They were the better team tonight. We'll give them that. I guarantee you we'll be the better team Monday."
Couture put the Sharks on top 1-0 off an Pietrangelo lost puck. He didn't play a puck immediately, and with his back to the offensive zone, got pushed down by Meier creating a 2-on-1. Nyquist fed Couture for a one-timer at 3:31 of the first period, Couture's 10th of the playoffs.
Edmundson tied it 1-1 with his first of the playoffs at 9:13 when Brayden Schenn started a breakout, Vladimir Tarasenko dropped it to Jaden Schwartz in the o-zone, and Schwartz's shot caromed off Edmundson and beat Martin Jones five-hole with Edmundson driving the middle lane.
But Joe Pavelski gave San Jose a 2-1 lead at 11:24, scoring on a 5-on-3 with Jay Bouwmeester (interference) and Colton Parayko (slashing) in the box. The Sharks had a 5-on-3 for 1:03 and the Blues nearly got out of it, but Pavelski followed up his own rebound after Binnington made a solid right pad save with 12 seconds left in the two-man advantage.
The Bouwmeester penalty was the Blues' first since the first period of Game 6 against Dallas, and they set an NHL playoff record for consecutive minutes without a penalty at 136:20.
"They're penalties," Berube said. "Tough one on Bouwmeester a little bit, but a lot of that goes on both ways. We got called for it and Parayko breaks a guy's stick. He's going to call that to make it a 5-on-3."
The Blues were down one after one period, but it wasn't a poor period by any means.
A bad puck decision by Pietrangelo cost the Blues the first goal, and being put in a two-man disadvantage cost them another.
The Sharks hemmed the Blues in on a couple zone exits, but St. Louis had ample, quality scoring chances and zone time.
"In the first period, it was OK," Berube said. "I thought it was a pretty good first period other than the penalties."
The second period was the final nail, and it wasn't good.
Edmundson's giveaway on a flipped puck in the neutral zone turned into Kevin LaBanc's goal at 7:41 to make it 3-1, but O'Reilly got that one back 1:17 later when he collected a loose puck off a David Perron shot, curled around Marc-Edouard Vlasic and Sharks goalie Martin Jones and tucked it inside the near post, O'Reilly's first goal in nine games to make it 3-2.
But disaster didn't stop there.
Parayko mismanaged the puck skating out of his own zone, got it poked away by Couture and Meier picked it up and blew past Bouwmeester before pulling it back to his backhand and beating Binnington to make it 4-2 at 10:24.
Meier's second of the game, after Pietrangelo missed on a cross-ice pass at the red line, came on a puck off Vince Dunn's skate at 17:34 to make it 5-2.
Game. Set. Match.
"We didn't manage the puck very well, especially in the second period," Berube said. "They check well, they're a good team without the puck. They check well, they've got a good neutral zone. We've got to do a better job through the neutral zone with the puck. … Second period, we just got caught in that three-quarter ice game by them. They did a good job of checking, forcing things on us and we got caught in some turnovers and they capitalized on them.
"We were too spread out. In playoff time, you've got to have numbers around the puck and you've got to have puck support everywhere and we didn't have enough support. We couldn't make enough 10-foot passes."
The Blues did some things well in the third period, but it's easy to play better when you're playing losing hockey and the opposition is laying back. But Tyler Bozak made it 5-3 at 13:01 by cashing in on another rebound by Jones, who made 28 saves.
The Bozak, Pat Maroon and Robert Thomas line got things going with the forecheck in the third period but too little, too late.
"I think as a line we had a better third period than our first two and we still got more to give," Thomas said. "I think as a line we've got to be better.
"I wouldn't throw it all on the 'D' tonight. When the 'D' don't have any options, it's hard for them to make a play. I think for us forwards we need to find better lanes and give them more outs with the puck."
The Blues pressured when they pulled Binnington with under five minutes left, and without any results, Couture ended it with an empty-netter at 17:39.
"You keep trying to build, keep trying to push," Pietrangelo said. "Six-on-five, you're trying to score, everyone's pushing. Even to get that opportunity was a good thing."
The Blues outhit the Sharks 41-35, and for the third straight game, Sammy Blais led them with seven. And as physical as the game was, Sharks defenseman Erik Karlsson threw some fire into when asked about it.
"Yeah, I think that we played hockey tonight and they worried about a few other things and we won the game," Karlsson said.
Well, that was a shot fired, but the best thing the Blues can do is forget this game and refocus, because Monday will be massive for them.
"There's a few too many mistakes out there, but whenever there was, they capitalized on the chances they got," Edmundson said. "I think that was the biggest difference of tonight's game. Overall they were just the better team and we'll be ready for Monday."
* NOTES — Blues defenseman Carl Gunnarsson did not play and was replaced by Robert Bortuzzo. Gunnarsson has a lower-body injury and is listed as day-to-day after injuring himself in Game 7 against the Dallas Stars on Tuesday.

Fox Faces the Music as 'American Idol' Takes Tumble
The success of 'Following' spurs renewed focus on male-friendly shows as the net rebuilds its sked

Going in to the 2012-13 campaign, Fox was already in need of new hits, but the sense of urgency has been amped up due to the surprisingly steep decline of "American Idol," a show that propped up the net for a decade.
Projected to finish in second place behind CBS among young adults after winning a record eight consecutive seasons, Fox finds itself in a time of transition — and that could mean some big changes in the fall.
Among the net's challenges is that there's not a lot of room on its 15-hour sked for growth potential when "Idol" (and its fall counterpart, "The X Factor") takes up so much space. Adding to the clog, shows like "Bones" and "Glee" are doing well enough to stick around even though their best days, from a ratings perspective, are behind them.
After a few seasons that saw the net skew more female than it had in years, Fox appears poised to pivot back to its male roots. Most of its drama pilots and some of its highest-profile comedies seem geared for guys; the net's best new performer from this season, drama "The Following," is a high-octane, edgy thriller that fares well with men.
As Fox prepares for fall, its biggest needs are strengthening Monday and Tuesday, where it ranks fourth in adults 18-49 this season. And since it has music contests eating up Wednesday and half of Thursday, Fox can improve on Monday and Tuesday only by rolling the dice on new stuff — adding perhaps as many as four new shows on the two nights alone.
Monday, where "The Following" has performed pretty well this spring but won't be back until next year, could see a pair of new dramas aimed at men. The possibilities include police-themed "Gang Related," U.S. marshal tale "The List" and an untitled futuristic buddy cop show from J.J. Abrams.
If at least one of those shows manages to click in the fall, it could pair with "The Following" at midseason.
The possible comedy nights of Tuesday and Thursday are difficult to predict for Fox, and could well depend on what the competition does on Thursday. NBC's "The Office" is ending its run, so there will be no incumbent Thursday 9 p.m. comedy — an opening that Fox or CBS may seize upon.
Fox has a solid young Tuesday comedy hour in "New Girl" and "The Mindy Project," and may want to move them to Thursday at 9 after "The X Factor" results show — although that plan would certainly go out the window if CBS shifted "The Big Bang Theory" to 9.
But if the comedies move to Thursday, where does "Glee" go? Weeknight options are limited if you want to keep it away from "The Voice."
If Fox kept "Glee" on Thursdays and the comedy hour at 9 on Tuesday in the fall, it could go open Tuesday with a pair of new comedies — perhaps something loud and male, like the still-untitled Andy Samberg cop comedy, that could counter "Voice" and provide a decent leadin for "New Girl."
Another possibility Fox might consider to get more comedy in its lineup is slimming "X Factor" down to 90 minutes at some point and sliding "Raising Hope" or another show behind it at 9:30.
Elsewhere, crime drama "Bones" isn't doing the net much good leading off Monday because its numbers don't figure to grow in season nine. It may opt for a block of dramas on Friday — another night on which Fox ran fourth this season — and have "Bones" to lead into a new drama that is tonally similar — perhaps the Greg Kinnear legal vehicle "Rake."
With Fox among the first of the Big Four to unveil its lineup during upfront week — its presentation is set for Monday, May 13, after NBC's morning sesh — the net really has no time to react to the sked moves unveiled by the competition.
The best-case scenario for Fox would be that "Big Bang" stays put Thursdays at 8, allowing "New Girl" and "Mindy" to follow "X Factor" on the night. It could then air "Glee" Tuesdays at 9 following a pair of new comedies.
Sunday will remain home to the net's animated comedy block, where vets "The Simpsons," "Family Guy" and "American Dad" still do solid business. At this point, it seems unlikely that a live-actioner would shift to Sunday or one of the toons would move to a weeknight.
Overall, Fox has not had a great season, but counting regular programs only (eliminating unfavorable year-to-year sports comparisons), it is just a little behind CBS in adults 18-49. This is because some of Fox's biggest scripted shows — "New Girl," "Following" and "Glee" — look a lot more competitive in full-week DVR playback numbers than they do in next-day ratings.
But time-shifting or not, Fox needs to add new tunes to its repertoire next season — and that means new scripted hits and a little less reliance on wannabe pop stars.
