Make the broth base and filling. In a medium-large (4-quart) saucepan, heat the lard or oil over medium. Add the onions and cook, stirring regularly, until they are very well browned, about 10 minutes. While the onions are cooking, puree the undrained canned tomatoes (if using fresh tomatoes, puree them with 2/3 cup water), using a blender or food processor and working in two batches if necessary for your equipment. When the onions are well browned, raise the heat to medium-high and add the pureed tomatoes, cinnamon and black pepper. Stir regularly as the mixture boils briskly, reducing until it becomes the consistency of thick tomato sauce, about 25 minutes.
Prepare the tomato broth. Remove 2 cups of the tomato mixture and set aside. Stir the broth into the mixture that remains. Partially cover and simmer over low heat for 45 minutes or so, while you're preparing the filling and chiles.
Make the pork picadillo filling. Set a large (12-inch) skillet (preferably non-stick) over medium high heat. Add the almonds and stir around until they color to a deep golden, about 2 minutes. Remove. Crumble the pork into the skillet and fry, stirring often, until thoroughly cooked (some of the edges should be browned and crispy), 10 to 15 minutes. If the pork has rendered a lot of fat, drain it off. Mix in the reserved 2 cups of tomato mixture, raisins and vinegar. Cook over medium heat, stirring regularly, until the mixture is very thick and homogenous, about 20 minutes. Stir in the almonds, then taste and season with salt, usually about 1 teaspoon. Cool.
Prepare the chiles. While the picadillo is cooking, pour 1-inch of oil into a heavy deep skillet or pot—the pot should be 12 inches wide and 3 to 4 inches deep for easiest maneuvering of the chiles—and set over medium to medium high to heat to 350 degrees. (Using a thermometer is the most accurate way to assure the proper heat, but there are other reliable clues: The oil releases that "hot oil" aroma and its surface begins shimmering. When you think the oil is hot, test the edge of a chile—it should sizzle vigorously. Remember—smoking oil is dangerously overheated and will give the chiles a bad taste.) In two batches, fry the chiles, turning them continually for about 1 minute, until they are evenly blistered (they'll look uniformly light green, having lightened as they blister). Drain on paper towels. Remove the oil from the heat. When the chiles are cool enough to handle, rub off the blistered skins, then cut an incision in the side of each one, starting 1/2- inch below the stem end and continuing to within 1/2- inch of the tip. One by one, work your finger inside the chiles and dislodge all the seeds clustered just below the stem. Quickly rinse the seeds from inside the chiles, being careful not to rip or tear the opening any wider; rinse off any stray bits of skin. Drain on paper towels, cut-side down.
Batter and fry the chiles. Reheat the oil to 350 degrees and set up a tray lined with several layers of paper towels. Separate the eggs: whites into the bowl of an electric mixer, the yolks into another bowl. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the whites and begin beating them on medium speed. When they are beginning to look dry and hold a stiff peak (but are not at all rigid), beat in the yolks two at a time until well incorporated. Lastly, beat in the 2 tablespoons of flour. Spread the 1 cup of flour on a plate. One at a time, batter the first four chiles: roll in the flour, shake off the excess, pick up by the stem, dip into the batter, pull quickly straight up out of the batter, then lay into the hot oil. (If your kitchen is very warm, it's best to hold the remaining batter for the second round in the refrigerator.) Once the first four are in the oil, begin gently, gently basting them with spoonfuls of hot oil (this will help set the uncooked batter on top). When they're richly golden underneath, about 4 minutes, use one small metal spatula underneath and another one (or a spoon) on top to gently turn the chiles over. Fry until the other side is richly golden, another 3 to 4 minutes. Using the metal spatula, remove the chiles to drain on paper towels. Repeat with the second half of the chiles.
Serve the chiles. Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Once all the fried chiles have cooled for at least 5 minutes, pick them up by carefully rolling each one onto one hand, then transferring to a baking sheet (lined with parchment, if you wish, for extra ease at the time of serving). Pull out the wooden skewer by twisting it gently. Bake for about 15 minutes to reheat, to render some of the absorbed oil and to crisp slightly. Meanwhile, bring the tomato broth to a boil and check the consistency: it should be similar to a brothy tomato soup. If too thick, thin with a little water or broth; if too thin, boil rapidly until thickened slightly. Season it with salt, usually about ½ teaspoon. Ladle about 1/2 cup of the broth into each of 8 deep serving bowls (large soup bowls or pasta bowls are perfect here). Nestle in one of the chiles, garnish with the herb sprigs and get ready for a taste of real Mexico.
Work Ahead: The beauty of this dish is the way so many steps can be done in advance. The brothy sauce and filling (Steps 1 through 3) can be made several days in advance and stored in the refrigerator, covered. The chiles may be blistered, peeled and seeded (Step 4) a day in advance, though if I were that far ahead, I'd stuff (Step 5) and freeze them, too, just for ease in the frying. Battered and fried chiles will hold for an hour or two at room temperature before reheating them in the 400 degree oven (Step 7). (If you freeze the chiles until solid, be sure to complete the frying a full half hour in advance of oven-reheating and serving.) While reheating the chiles, warm the broth and you're ready to serve.

CAN WE AVOID A SHOOTING BATTLE FOR BERLIN?
The new battle for Berlin, now opening on the diplomatic front, is a tougher challenge in some ways than the bloody campaign of 1945. Just back from Germany, a seasoned reporter weighs the West's chances in this crucial Cold War clash
BLAIR FRASER May 23 1959
CAN WE AVOID A SHOOTING BATTLE FOR BERLIN? BLAIR FRASER May 23 1959
BLAIR FRASER
When the Great Powers' foreign ministers meet this month to plan a summit conference, they launch the most hazardous diplomatic venture the West has undertaken since World War 11.
East-West confrontations are nothing new, nor is their failure remarkable. Since VE-day there have been two at the summit, a dozen at foreign-minister level, hundreds at lower rungs of the official ladder, and all but one or two have failed. But up to now these failures have done little actual harm. This time it may be different, Chances of success are as dim as usual if not dimmer, and chances are high that a failure will be a calamity.
At one extreme is the danger of war, a truly preposterous war. Widows of men who died to capture Berlin would be asked to send their sons to fight, in order that one half of Berlin should be spared the fate of the other half. The men closest to the problem don't really think it will come to this (they don't believe Khrushchev wants war over Berlin any more than we do) but they cannot rule out the possibility.
The other extreme is a danger less grave but more probable, the collapse of the Western alliance. West Germany is the strongest NATO partner on the continent of Europe, the only one capable of putting up a real fight. To the Germans, Berlin is a test case. The allies are pledged to fight if West Berlin is attacked; if they don't stand by their word, in spirit as well as in letter, Germany will have no more faith in the alliance. Neither will anyone else in the long run.
Between the two extremes lies a welter of pious confusion. For all the talk about unity and solidarity the allies are not in fact united on any substitute for the status quo — the continued, precarious existence of West Berlin as a free island in a Communist ocean. But the nearest thing to a certainty in this uncertain region is that the status quo cannot endure. Khrushchev has pronounced it intolerable, and Khrushchev has the power to upset it by a wide variety of means. Not all of these means require open violence on his part.
In this alarming situation the West Germans have a special cause for alarm. They believe (rightly, 1 think) that outside their own borders, the ordinary citizen in Western countries knows little and cares less about the impending crisis in Berlin. The Germans feel like the little man in the advertisements of the Philadelphia Bulletin, vainly pointing out the approach of disaster u'hile "nearly everybody" goes on reading the sports page. In the hope of correcting this the West German government has been inviting platoons of foreign journalists (a dozen from Canada alone) to come to Berlin and write about what they see and hear there.
Unhappily the problem looks just as difficult at short range as at long. None of us came back with any answers—and our German hosts, to their credit, made no attempt to force any down our throats. What we did get was a clearer view of the questions, and a clearer idea of how important Berlin is to both sides in the cold war, and why.
We could see, for example, why Khrushchev
finds West Berlin unbearable, "a bone in my throat." West Berlin provides both a focus and a stimulus for the burning hatred of communism and all its works, for their state of captivity and for their Russian masters, that any visitor can find among the East Germans.
Standing in the rain on the main square of Leipzig, listening to Nikita Khrushchev speak in Russian to twenty thousand people who had marched there behind banners and bands, I was surprised to teel a nudge in the ribs. A German standing beside me said quietly: "Listen well. Only on the microphone is coming the cheering. The people do not cheer."
It was true. Every few minutes as the Khrushchev speech was translated, roars of applause came over the loudspeakers, but as far as I could see or hear around me, nobody was making any noise at all. They stood glum and silent, the rain dripping off hats and umbrellas. Real applause came only when Khrushchev said, as he did several times, "Our objective is peace, peace," and, "There must be a peace treaty with Germany."
What amazed me was nothing Khrushchev said, but the fact that a German would make such a remark to a stranger. Notebook in hand and wearing an English topcoat, I was obviously not only a Westerner but a Western reporter. This German wanted the crowd's true reaction to be known
abroad and was not afraid to speak his mind.
Four days later, walking away from another Khrushchev meeting in East Berlin, a woman I had just met said: "Khrushchev himself is not unpopular with us. We think he is a clever man, cleverer than your Eisenhower. It is Walter Ulbricht (East German Communist boss) who is unpopular. He is really hated. 1 should not be surprised if he were assassinated before long."
A girl of twenty said: "1 shall never marry in East Germany. All the attractive men go away to the West. Nobody stays here but the timid, the stupid, and a few fanatics."
(I've disguised these conversations slightly, for obvious reasons, but all the words arc accurately quoted as spoken to me, in English.)
What dictatorship could ignore such bold and open hostility, in a subject people, as the visitor is able to see in East Germany today? It's a continual proof, to Russian and German alike, how precarious is the Communist grip on this vital sector of middle Europe. And there seems to be little doubt, from what Germans say on both sides of the curtain, that what makes them so bold in their hostility is the avenue of escape through West Berlin. A quarter of a million get away each year.
Escape through West Berlin is fairly easy. Travel in the Soviet zone is not yet rigidly con-
trolled, so it's not too difficult to get to Communist East Berlin from other parts of East Germany. Once there, all the refugee has to do is board a subway or an elevated tram. Both go back and forth quite freely between East and West Berlin, a traffic that could be cut but not without tremendous cost and inconvenience to both sides.
The decision to run away is still a hard one. The refugee must leave behind all he owns except what he can carry in a not-too-noticeable suitcase. He must also take with him, if he can, every relative whose fate he cares about. The Communists often punish those who stay behind for the "crime" of those who leave.
Not every runaway gets through. One afternoon Frank Swanson of the Southam Newspapers and I were riding back to West Berlin on the subway when a policeman came aboard at the last stop in East Berlin. He spoke to a woman sitting next to Frank; she opened her handbag. He looked into it, then told her to get off with him. It was done so quietly we hardly noticed what was happening.
But the astonishing thing is not that some are caught, escaping or smuggling. The astonishing thing is that so many get through, even when obviously laden with all the portable goods they own. Dr. Karl Zimmer, head of the refugee reception centre in West Berlin, explained why: "Everyone tries to help the one who is running away. The other passengers on the train, the tickettakers, the guards and the conductors—they're all on the refugee's side."
Even the police?
"No, not the police, but practically everybody else."
A few minutes later we got a rather startling indication of how high up, in East Germany, this tacit conspiracy extends. Apparently it even includes the judges and the courts.
By coincidence, one of
The leaders of a divided Germany await the Great Powers' fateful Summit decision
"The military plight of West Berlin is hopeless. The 10,000 troops are like a band of hostages"
the people being "screened" at the West Berlin refugee centre on the day of our visit was a British spy—a German, but an agent of the U. K. He hadn't done much in the espionage line, for he was caught and sent to a forced-labor camp within weeks after he signed on as a British agent, but he told us his assignment. It was to line up a chain of technical informants (he's an engineer) to send out data on uranium mining. The British wanted to know how much the mines of Saxony were producing and how much of it went to the Soviet Union.
The questions put to the man were interested but friendly. The British authorities had already confirmed that his story was true and that he was entitled to political asylum. (He said he had neither asked nor got any pay for his work; he was opposed to the Communist regime, and "wanted to do something to help.")
But what struck me as most astonishing, in this astonishing tale, was the sentence imposed by the East German court on this self-confessed traitor and spy. He got three years, no more—and the last nine months of that knocked off for good behavior. He told us he was warned by a friend not to go back to his mother's home in Leipzig because Communist police were waiting for him with another charge that would doubtless have sent him back to jail. That was why, after pretending to set out for Leipzig, he had taken the first train for Berlin and then the subway to freedom. But the mere fact that such a man could have got away at all, with such ease, in spite of such a record of enmity to the Communist regime, was an indication how widely that enmity must be shared.
No doubt the Russians use the same channel to send their own Communist agents west, and no doubt they succeed in many cases, but the free West Germans are contemptuously indifferent to this threat. Ninety-nine and a half percent of all refugees are admitted with no more than a routine interrogation. The fifty percent who are under twenty-five years old are not questioned at all. The West Germans say it doesn't matter what these young people may think today, when they've never even seen a free country; once they do see one they will like it. This tolerant attitude produces results. A considerable number of Communist agents end up by reporting voluntarily to the West German police and asking for asylum.
A lot is said and written about the contrast in material standards of living between East and West Germany. The contrast is there, all right. The Kurfurstendamm, West Berlin's Fifth Avenue, does indeed look like a gorgeous display compared to the relatively drab shop windows along the Stalinallee in East Berlin. It's also true that many of those who run away to the West, particularly the young, do so for economic reasons.
But if that were all, Khrushchev wouldn't need to worry about the presence of West Berlin. For one thing, the material gap is visibly narrowing. The contrast is much less sharp today than it was the last time I saw it, three years ago; East Berlin is still far behind, but relatively it has made more progress since 1956 than West Berlin. For another thing, the gain in coming to West Germany hardly makes up for the loss of every material possession in East Germany—except, of course, for the young men and women who have no material possessions worth mentioning.
Island in Communist sea
The real and permanent inducement, the true reproach that mocks all the pretensions of the Communist regime, is simply freedom. West Germans go where they like, read what they like, say what they like. So long as West Berlin remains an island of freedom in the Communist sea, the Communist regime cannot prevent East Germans from knowing this fact. And so long as they know it, the Communist grip on East Germany is bound to be precarious.
"Walter Ulbricht must have told Khrushchev, 'I can't stand this any longer,' " a young East German said. "That's why they are raising the Berlin issue now."
These are persuasive reasons why the Communists want to be rid of West Berlin. In a politico-military deadlock, the political advantage seems to lie on our side; if the Berlin crisis were a mere bargaining contest, these political assets could be bartered against the obvious military advantage of the Russians.
The military plight of West Berlin is hopèless. Ten thousand American, British and French troops are stationed there, not so much a garrison as a band of hostages. More than a hundred miles inside the Soviet-occupied zone, supplied from the west by roads and canals that could be cut without effort, these men,
in the event of trouble, couldn't hope even for rescue, let alone reinforcements. They could only be avenged—and that would mean all-out war.
Moreover, West Beilin brings no material gain to our side. It costs the West German government two hundred and fifty million dollars a year in subsidies and tax exemptions. Economically as well as militarily, the city is only a burden and a hazard.
So why do we try to hang on to it? Why not sell out West Berlin for the highest political price we can get. and relax?
There are cynics in Bonn (foreigners, but people who live there) who say that when the chips are down. West Germany will do just that. I he Adenauer regime depends, they say, on the fairly even division between Roman Catholic and Protestant in present-day West Germany. Adenauer's Christian Democratic Union commands practically all of the Roman Catholic vote plus a small but adequate fraction of the Protestant. East Germany is mostly Protestant, and might be expected to vote Social Democrat in an all-German election and turn Adenauers party tint. I bis, according to the cynics, is the true cause of the old chancellor's notorious "rigidity." He doesn't really want any change, they contend, and so he sticks to terms that he knows the Russians will nev.T accept.
I put this'question one evening to a German MP of Adenauer's party, who is also a rich industrialist, a friend of Alfred Krupp—just the kind of man one might expect to hold cynically "realistic" views. He answered with every appearance of sincerity:
"I assure you most solemnly that this is not true. We Germans do not feel that
"You must understand that one third of all the people in West Germany have near relatives ,n East Germany—parents, brothers, sons. 1 he rest of us have friends there. These kinfolk and these friends are living in captivity. It is to us unthinkable that we should abandon them, and accept the present division of our country as a permanent thing."
The loss of West Berlin would not in itself, of course, affect the seventeen million people now captive in East Germany. But West Berlin is a symbol as well as an escape hatch. To abandon it would be to abandon hope, and this the
German people are not willing to do.
The other Western allies are clearly and solemnly pledged to stand by the West Germans if West Berlin is attacked. The pledge was implicit from the beginning, and honored as such in 1948-49 when the U. S. defeated Stalin's Berlin blockade with the Berlin airlift. Since 1954 the promise has been explicit, a solemn engagement in writing, lately reaffirmed by the "stand firm" declarations that preceded and followed the NATO meeting in Washington. If Khrushchev should be so foolish as to take West Berlin by force — our course would be painful but inescapable. We are committed to fight.
But just for that reason, it's most unlikely that Khrushchev will make any such violent move. Much more subtle devices are open to him. The situation in West Berlin is so delicately balanced that the slightest change, even the most reasonable-looking change, will put the Western allies in a painful dilemma.
The presence of an allied garrison in West Berlin, which is the only physical protection against the Communist forces all round, depends on the constitutional fiction that Germany is still an occupied country. Technically the allied troops are occupation troops, present "by right of conquest" in West Berlin like the Soviet troops who hold East Germany.
Khrushchev has now offered to make a separate peace, withdraw the Red Arn\y from German soil, and leave the handling of Berlin to Premier Grotewohl's puppet government of East Germany. The Soviet draft of a peace treaty, in its Article 25, says: "Pending the restoration of Germany's unity and the establishment of a united German state. West Berlin shall have the standing of a demilitarized free city." To this Khrushchev has added the suggestion that "token forces" of allied nations might be allowed to stay in West Beilin — provided, of course, that Soviet troops were included.
Offering a separate peace can hardly be described as an "attack" on West Berlin, but it creates a problem to which the allies have not yet found an agreed answer: What shall we do if the Russians withdraw and we are compelled, by their default, to deal with an East German government that the West refuses to recognize?
Germans become very worried when any of their allies do as Prime Minister
Harold Macmillan did on his visit to Moscow — take a stand that has not been cleared with the rest of the alliance. They were furious, and they still are, at the Macmillan-Khrushchev suggestion that "a thinning out of forces" might be one goal of East-West talks on central Europe. But they explained that their anger was caused. not by the proposal itself, but by the fact that Macmillan made it without prior consultation. Germany will not even be present at a summit meeting, and the Germans are afraid their position may be given away by allies who don't fully understand it.
But what would the Germans themselves accept? Are they rigidly determined that the present fantastic state of affairs be continued forever?
Not at all. Germans will negotiate as freely as anyone on the whole broad issue of Germany and German reunification. What they don't want is a negotiation on the narrow issue of Berlin alone. There, they can see no possibility of advantage to anyone but the Russians and their East German puppets.
Franz-Josef Strauss. West Germany s blunt and outspoken minister of defense, gave us the clearest outline of his country's minimum requirement:
"Self - determination, that's what we want for Germany. Not in all fields, perhaps. We don't insist upon a free hand to arm ourselves, for example. We don't insist on a free hand in foreign policy, to make whatever alliances we choose. On things like that, we would be willing to accept some restrictions.
"But at the very least, the people must be free to choose their own social and political system at home. If they want a Communist system, all right, let them have it: but they must have a free choice. There is no problem on our side. We have a free choice, we can do as we like. But for seventeen million people in the Soviet-occupied zone, we must demand that they have the right to decide how they want to live."
At the German Foreign Office next day we got a further elaboration from Foreign Minister Heinrich von Brentano and his senior aides: "We are opposed to any solution that makes Berlin a Russian satellite. That's what Khrushchev's 'free city' proposal would do.
"We think the Russians have two sets of proposals, a maximum which they'll try to get. a minimum for which they II settle. They have already declared their maximum, the so-called draft treaty that merely perpetuates the present division of Germany with a few adjustments in Russia's favor. What their minimum is. we shall find out by negotiation.
"We too have a maximum and a minimum program. When we make tiny concession away from our maximum, it should be an exchange for a Soviet concession."
What concessions would West Germany be willing to make?
"We'd be fools to reveal them at this stage. But remember, Khrushchev is not sure of himself either. It would be a most dangerous thing to let him think he can break up Western unity by offering one thing here, another there. We must stand together."
Stand together on what?
That's the question that brings the argument back to where it started. So far, nobody knows the answer.
Some Germans and some Americans would like it to be "Stand where we are. Stand firm against any change whatsoever in the status quo. unless it is a negotiated change." Casual observation made us think that the Americans in Germany are actually more rigid in this view than the Germans are. One junior official of
the German government remarked. o>d a drink: "We're not at all afraid that the Russians will start a war over Berlin, but we're sometimes afraid that the Americans will."
But this is all loose talk by individuals. It is perfectly obvious that we cannot "stand firm" against some purely negative act by the Soviet Union. We cannot, for example, prevent the Russians from walking away from East Germany if they decide to run the risk of doing so. We can't pretend it's an aggressive act for an East German, instead of a Russian, to
stamp the entry papers of allied trucks bound for Berlin (although there was a time when some people talked as though it were). Once that happens, it will become more and more difficult to deal with the East German authorities from day to day while maintaining, at the same time, that they do not exist. But if these workaday contacts lead to any kind of formal recognition, then we shall be writing off the unification of Germany, anti probably signing the death warrant of the Western alliance.
That's the dark side of the picture. The
bright side, as seen by the British in particular. is that the Russians really do seem in a mood to negotiate about Berlin, which now is a painful thorn in their side. If that view is correct, then presumably the Russians will settle for something less than their published demands. Conceivably, the negotiations of 1959 might settle the problem of Germany and win the peace of Europe.
The real difficulty is not to find the means to shoot our way to Berlin, but to find a common ground for negotiation on which the West can stand united.

What do I think of Jelbert's critique of Richard Spencer? Let's plunge into the Deeper Waters and find out.
Glenton Jelbert of Evidence Considered is now looking at Richard Spencer's essay on if Intelligent Design necessitates Optimal Design. As readers know, I have no interest in the science portion. It doesn't bother me and I have no reason to support Intelligent Design. Still, I am interested in the philosophy and theology involved.
For instance, Jelbert says Spencer is trying to explain why the world looks as if it did if there was no God by positing natural causes. This isn't a scientific objection, but a theological one. It is saying that if God exists, then He will not work through what Aristotle called instrumental causes. He will work directly. How does Jelbert know this?
In the Middle Ages when science really began to take off, they had no problem with filling int he gaps. Jelbert's argument might work for a God of the Gaps style approach, but that is really a historical latecomer. The medievals actually believed they were showing the genius of God by showing how He went about working the universe.
Consider also a miracle like the Jordan river stopping when it did for the Israelites to pass through. Treat the story as true for the sake of argument. Does it cease to be a miracle when it is found that this event has happened with the waters of the river stopping before? Not at all. The miracle is not just that it happened but that it happened when it happened and resumed when it did.
Later on, Spencer says that we do not fully understand the mind of God and why He does what He does. This should be a given on theism and atheism. If God exists, it should be granted no one can know His mind entirely. Jelbert says that this is also theistic agnosticism. God cannot be known. But why? Jelbert points to terms like omnipotence and omniscience and such being meaningless. His source is George Smith's Atheism: The Case Against God.
Smith does agree that a contradiction should be impossible regardless, but how does he establish a problem with omnipotence. An omnipotent being is one who is said to be capable of violating His nature. For a Thomist though, this is not a sign of power, but a sign of weakness. We are left wondering what this would entail. This also means God does not violate His other attributes like goodness and love. Omnipotence cannot make evil to be good.
For omniscience, we have the old chestnut that if God knows the future, God causes the future. Most Arminians will grant that God knows the future. I will certainly agree to that. That does not mean that God's knowledge is the causal factor in what I will do.
Now if anyone really wanted to study the doctrine of God and see how he works, pick up some good tomes on systematic theology. My favorite, of course, is the Summa Theologica. Saint Thomas Aquinas goes in-depth on the doctrine of God and what each attribute means.
Another part worth talking about is how Jelbert looks at cases of design such as food going down the same area we breathe through. Spencer says he does not know what God does and why. This should really be an unproblematic statement. Of course not. Unless God tells us something directly, we don't know why He does things. We can guess, but we cannot know for certain.
Yet Jelbert makes an interesting statement. Spencer says that often in suffering, we find a greater closeness to God. Jelbert says he cannot see how this comes about through watching your baby choke on a grape.
Sure, Jelbert can't see it, but how does it follow that it cannot happen? Jelbert said earlier that the mind of God isn't known and yet Jelbert seems to imply that there can be nothing in that mind that can use that for good. Not only that, there is a greater problem here.
Jelbert says if you remove theism, the problem disappears. After all, sometimes bad things will just happen. There is no purpose in the baby choking to death on a grape.
On atheism, that's true. There is no purpose in a baby choking on grape. We could say that the solution has come until you also realize that in atheism, there is no purpose in the baby to begin with. There's no purpose in the baby choking, but there's no purpose in the baby having healthy breathing either.
In essence, the problem is dealt with, but it's dealt with by saying not that there is just no purpose to the choking, but there's no purpose to anything. Now a pair of atheist parents can have purposes for why they want children and purposes they want for their children, but in the words of Linkin Park, in the end, it doesn't really matter. The whole universe is without purpose and just making one up won't change reality.
One cannot help but think of what Bertrand Russell said in A Free Man's Worship.
I recommend Jelbert simply read the accounts of Christians who have gone through great tragedy, including the death of a child, and see how it is used for good. Now, this stuff is not good to be sure, but it is used for good. Jelbert can want to say all day long that there is no purpose or good that can come from it, but he needs to show that, not just assert it.

Inspiring life of the godmother of orphans and lepers. April. 20, 2017 07:07. by Sun-Hee Jang sun10@donga.com. A documentary movie of German-American missionary "Suh Suh-pyoung, Slowly and Peacefully" co-directed by Hong Joo-yeon and Hong Yeon-jeong will premiere on April 26. As a medical missionary of Presbyterian Church in the United States, Elizabeth J. Shepping came to Korea in 1912 and received her Korean name "Suh Suh-pyoung" and died in 1934.
Arriving in Joseon at the age of 32, Suh fed and taught orphans, widows, and lepers who even the Joseon people disregarded at that time. Even in her last moments when she suffered from endemics and malnutrition, she donated her corpse for medical science purposes.
Producers followed her life for over a year, visiting from Wiesbaden, Germany and New York, the U.S. to the Jeolla provinces and Jeju Island of Korea. "Koreans used to highlight the lives of male or famous missionaries," said director Hong Joo-yeon. "This film vividly portrays the process of a human who spiritualizes her own suffering and agony." The film was narrated by actor Ha Jeong-woo.

KCI was contracted to perform engineering evaluation and design services for the Columbia Gateway Dam as part of an On-Call Stormwater and Watershed Management Evaluation/Design/Build Contract.
Our team's responsibilities included performing dam inspection services and preliminary geotechnical exploration studies to assess the dam, identifying problem(s), and developing, recommendations and cost estimates for remediation.
The project involved an existing stormwater management (SWM) pond. The dam, situated at the eastern end of the pond, is approximately 30 feet high with a ten-foot reinforced concrete barrel pipe spillway outfall. It is classified as one of the county's high hazard dams. The spillway has a riser and two antiseep collars. The length of the pipe is approximately 120 feet and includes 17 joints. The pipe begins at an intake structure on the upstream end and daylights at the downstream end. The pipe also traverses an 18-inch sanitary sewer pipe enclosed in a concrete casing towards the downstream toe of the dam. The downstream end has a headwall and two wingwall/retaining walls.
As Engineer-In-Charge, we developed the remedial design including preparation of design drawings, specifications, construction sequence and cost estimates, permits and performed the construction QA/QC.


when is the best time to sow seeds of Stipa gigantean. I've collected some this week – July 2014 and put some in a paper bag and sown others, but am guessing!
Hey Stacy, glad you're back! Dud neurons are a challenge. But we will overcome. Won't we?
Yeah, super hot day and it was sizzling. I almost nodded off lying on my back taking this shot.
I saw this one shortly after you posted it, and it lit up the "Ooh, nice!" part of my brain, but when I waited for another neuron to fire that would actually turn "Ooh, nice!" into words, nothing happened. Dud neurons.
Did you take this on one of those super-hot days? The sky and the way the light bronzes the seed heads just radiates sizzling summer.

Q: DropDownList SelectedItem Not Working (Razor ASP MVC5) Model
public class MyModel {
     public string ItemXYZ { get; set; }
}

Controller
public ActionResult Edit(int? id)
{
  var x = db.XYZs.Find(id);
  ViewBag.Item_XYZ = new SelectList(new[] { "X", "Y", "Z"}, x.CurrentXYZ);
}

View
@Html.DropDownList("XYZ123", @ViewBag.Item_XYZ as SelectList, new { @class = "special-class" })

Problem
If I change my DropDownList to mach the name of the get set in my model, the selected value does not work.
@Html.DropDownList("ItemXYZ" ....)

If it matches the name of my ViewBag item, the SelectedItem doesn't work.
@Html.DropDownList("Item_XYZ" ....)

But, if I append 123 (for example), SelectedItem works just fine.
UPDATE
This is the same issue I am having, but I don't understand why or how to handle the return in my controller?

A: In Controller use the code as::
public ActionResult Edit(int? id)
{
  var x = db.XYZs.ToList();
  ViewBag.TestDropdown = new SelectList(x, "ValueField", "TextField", "DefaultSelected");
}

and in Client side to show Dropdown use this:
@Html.DropDownList("TestDropdown")

thats it.
May be this will help you.

A: Receive a parameter named XYZ123 in respective action.
Also include XYZ123 in Bind attribute of action.

Will RF Radiation From Your Cell Phone Kill You?
Maybe the NCI study is wrong. Maybe the animal studies are wrong. Maybe physics is wrong, and there is some as yet undiscovered mechanism by which these low-energy rf radiation fields do damage to DNA. How big a cancer problem would exposure to radiation from power lines be? It is a tragedy, obviously, for a child to develop leukemia, although thanks to medical advances over the last fifty years, the disease is now curable in 70 to 80 percent of cases. But from a public health perspective, how big a problem is low-energy electromagnetic radiation from power lines?
Each year in Britain there are five hundred cases of childhood leukemia. It is estimated that even doubling the risk of leukemia for children who live near power lines would increase the number of cases of childhood leukemia by two to five. An independent body studying the problem–and funded jointly by the British government, the electric industry, and the charity Children with Leukemia–concluded that even if all precautionary measures were taken, even if families and schools were moved away from power lines, and power lines were relocated and redesigned to reduce low-energy radiation emissions, "it would be impossible to evaluate the effectiveness of this intervention, as the small reduction in the number of cases would be undetectable." That is, such a small number of cancer cases would be prevented that it would be drowned out by the fluctuation of cases of childhood leukemia from year to year. I have not seen comparable numbers of cancer reduction in the United States; but extrapolating from the British data, each year there might be a reduction of twenty cases among the 3,900 or so childhood leukemia cases in a population of more than sixty million children under fifteen years of age.

Bank of Baroda (BoB) surpassed Punjab National Bank (PNB) to become the country's largest nationalised lender after the merger of Dena Bank and Vijaya Bank with Vadodara-based bank became effective Monday.
BoB, the second largest public sector lender after State Bank of India (SBI), now has over 9,500 branches, 13,400 ATMs, and 85,000 employees to serve 12 crore customers.
The largest nationalised bank now has an expanded capital base and will be in a position to have deeper banking relationship with customers.
To make merger a smooth affair, the government last week decided to infuse Rs 5,042 crore in BoB to enhance its capital base to meet additional expenses.
Shares of BoB closed at Rs 132.85 per unit, up 3.14 per cent on BSE.
The first three-way amalgamation is the first step in the consolidation of public sector banking industry recommended in 1991 by the Narasimham Committee report. Through this merger the government has created an institution of global scale and size, thereby providing significant benefit to all stakeholders.
Consolidated entity will be able to realise multiple synergy benefits both on cost and revenue sides.

Correction for Eddy Current-Induced Echo-Shifting Effect in Partial-Fourier Diffusion Tensor Imaging.
Truong, Trong-Kha
Song, Allen W
Chen, Nan-Kuei
In most diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) studies, images are acquired with either a partial-Fourier or a parallel partial-Fourier echo-planar imaging (EPI) sequence, in order to shorten the echo time and increase the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). However, eddy currents induced by the diffusion-sensitizing gradients can often lead to a shift of the echo in k-space, resulting in three distinct types of artifacts in partial-Fourier DTI. Here, we present an improved DTI acquisition and reconstruction scheme, capable of generating high-quality and high-SNR DTI data without eddy current-induced artifacts. This new scheme consists of three components, respectively, addressing the three distinct types of artifacts. First, a k-space energy-anchored DTI sequence is designed to recover eddy current-induced signal loss (i.e., Type 1 artifact). Second, a multischeme partial-Fourier reconstruction is used to eliminate artificial signal elevation (i.e., Type 2 artifact) associated with the conventional partial-Fourier reconstruction. Third, a signal intensity correction is applied to remove artificial signal modulations due to eddy current-induced erroneous T2(∗) -weighting (i.e., Type 3 artifact). These systematic improvements will greatly increase the consistency and accuracy of DTI measurements, expanding the utility of DTI in translational applications where quantitative robustness is much needed.

The 1994 Baltimore Orioles season was a season in American baseball. It involved the Orioles finishing 2nd in the American League East with a record of 63 wins and 49 losses. The season was cut short by the infamous 1994 player's strike.

Offseason
 December 14, 1993: Mark Eichhorn was signed as a free agent with the Baltimore Orioles.
 January 14, 1994: Chris Sabo was signed as a free agent by the Orioles.
 January 20, 1994: Lee Smith was signed as a free agent by the Orioles.
 February 3, 1994: Henry Cotto was signed as a free agent by the Orioles.

Regular season

By Friday August 12, 1994, when the MLB Players' strike began, the Orioles had scored 589 runs (5.26 per game) and allowed 497 runs (4.44 per game) with a 63–49 record through 112 games. They were 2.5 games behind the Cleveland Indians (66-47) in the 1994 AL Wildcard Race.

Because they had only played in 112 games by the time the strike began, the Orioles had the fewest at-bats in the Majors, with just 3,856. The Orioles pitching staff had good control, as the Orioles had the fewest wild pitches (18) in the Majors. They also tied the Seattle Mariners for the fewest balks, with just one. Orioles baserunners successfully stole 69 bases in the strike-shortened season and were caught stealing only 13 times: the fewest in the Majors. Their pitchers also had good control, with just 18 wild pitches thrown: the fewest in the Majors.

 August 2, 1994: Jeff Tackett hit a home run in the last at-bat of his career.

La diacilglicerol cinasa (DGK) (número ) es una familia de enzimas que cataliza la conversión de diacilglicerol (DAG) a ácido fosfatídico (PA) utilizando ATP como fuente de fosfato.

 1,2-diacilglicerol + ATP  1,2-diacilglicerol-3-fosfato + ADP

Funciones

En células no estimuladas, la actividad de la diacilglicerol cinasa es baja permitiendo que el diacilglicerol sea usado para la biosíntesis de fosfoglicéridos. Pero cuando se produce la activación de la ruta de los fosfoinosítidos, la actividad de la DGK aumenta conduciendo así la conversión de DAG a ácido fosfatídico. Se cree que los lípidos tienen la función de moléculas bioactivas de señalización con distintos objetivos celulares, así la DGK ocupa una posición importante sirviendo como interruptor para terminar la señalización por un lípido y activar la señalización por otro.

En las bacterias, la DGK es una proteína de membrana muy pequeña (13-15 kDa) que parece que contiene tres dominios transmembrana. La región mejor conservada es una porción de 12 residuos que están localizados en el citoplasma entre el segundo y tercer dominio transmembrana. Algunas bacterias Gram-positivas también codifican una DGK soluble capaz de reintroducir al DAG en la ruta de biosíntesis de los fosfolípidos. El DAG se acumula en las bacterias Gram-positivas como resultado de la transferencia del glicerol-1-fosfato del fosfaditilglicerol al ácido lipoteicoico.

Isozimas

Hasta la fecha se han clonado e identificado diez miembros de la familia de las diacilglicerol cinasas. Aunque todos los miembros han conservado los dominios catalíticos y dos dominios ricos en cisteína, se han clasificado en cinco grupos de acuerdo a la presencia de dominios funcionales adicionales y por la especificidad a sustratos.

 Diacilglicerol cinasa tipo 1. Isozimas DGK-α, DGK-β, DGK-γ. Contienen motivos manos-EF y un dominio homólogo a la recoverina.
 Diacilglicerol cinasa tipo 2. Isozimas DGK-δ, DGK-η, DGK-κ. Contiene un dominio homólogo a la pleckstrina.
 Diacilglicerol cinasa tipo 3. Isozima DGK-ε. Tiene especificidad por el diacilglicerol que contiene araquidonato.
 Diacilglicerol cinasa tipo 4. Isozimas DGK-ζ, DGK-ι. Contiene un dominio homólogo a MARCKS, repeticiones de anquirina y una secuencia señalizadora de localización nuclear.
 Diacilglicerol cinasa tipo 5. Isozima DGK-θ. Contiene un tercer dominio rico en cisteína, un dominio homólogo a la pleckstrina y una región rica en prolina.

Dominio catalítico de la diacilglicerol cinasa

El dominio catalítico de la diacilglicerol cinasa, o dominio DGKc, está presente en las cinasas de lípidos mamíferas como las diacilglicerol, ceramida y esfingosina cinasas, así como en proteínas bacterianas relacionadas.

En las bacterias, una proteína integral de membrana DGK forma una proteína homotrimérica que carece del dominio DGKc. En contraste, la proteína bacteriana yegS es una proteína citosólica soluble que contiene el dominio DGKc en la parte N-terminal. YegS es una lípido cinasa con dos dominios estructurales, en donde el sitio activo se localiza en el hueco entre dominios que es C-terminal con respecto al dominio DGKc que forma un pliegue α/β. La estructura terciaria se parece a la de las NAD cinasas y contiene un sitio de unión de ion metálico en la región C-terminal.

Algunas proteínas conocidas por contener un dominio DGKc son:

 La diacilglicerol cinasa mamífera. Una vez producida la estimulación celular convierte al mensajero secundario diacilglicerol en fosfatidato iniciando la resíntesis de fosfadilinositoles y atenuando la actividad de la proteína cinasa C.
 La esfingosina cinasa mamífera. Cataliza la fosforilación de la esfingosina para formar esfingosina-1-fosfato, un mediador lipídico con funciones intra y extracelulares.
 La acilglicerol cinasa mitocondrial mamífera. Una lípido cinasa que puede fosforilar monoacilglicerol y diacilglicerol para forma ácido lisofosfatídico y ácido fosfatídico respectivamente.
 La ceramida cinasa mamífera. Cataliza específicamente la fosforilación de la ceramida para formar ceramida-1-fosfato.
 La lípido cinasa bacteriana yegS. In vitro fosforila el fosfatidilglicerol pero no el diacilglicerol. Probablemente fosforila lípidos.
 Las diacilglicerol cinasas de la mosca de la fruta.
 La diacilglicerol cinasa K06A1.6 y la proteína F52C9.3 del Caenorhabditis elegans.
 Cinasas de bases esfingoides de cadena larga en plantas y levaduras.

Louis Daniel Brodsky, a native of St. Louis, became seriously interested in William Faulkner in 1959 when, as an undergraduate student at Yale University, he studied Faulkner's novels and stories in R. W. B. Lewis's course in American Studies. Shortly thereafter, with the help of New Haven bookdealer Henry Wenning, he began to acquire first editions and inscribed copies of Faulkner's books. Over the next 30 years Brodsky gradually but persistently built his collection to a "world class" status, expanding his holdings to include manuscripts, letters, movie scripts, legal documents, photographs, and drawings, as well as books. In 1988, Brodsky transferred ownership of his collection to Southeast Missouri State University, but he continues to serve as curator of the materials, now developing the collection on behalf of the University. The story of the Brodsky Collection and its acquisition by Southeast Missouri State University is recounted in Nicholas Basbane's A Gentle Madness, a study of a number of noted contemporary book collectors.
In addition to being an outstanding book collector, Brodsky is a noted Faulkner scholar and poet. He is the author of William Faulkner: Life Glimpses, a collection of biographical essays; and he is co-editor, with Robert W. Hamblin, of a number of books and articles, including the multi-volume Faulkner: A Comprehensive Guide to the Brodsky Collection. Brodsky has also published more than 50 volumes of poetry, three of which--Mississippi Vistas, Disappearing in Mississippi Latitudes, and Mistress Mississippi--deal with Faulknerian themes and settings. His latest poems include a five-volume series, Shadow War, treating the events and aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks on the United States; You Can't Go Back, Exactly, which won the 2004 Award for the Best Book of Poetry from the Center for Great Lakes Culture at Michigan State University; and Still Wandering in the Wilderness: Poems of the Jewish Diaspora. A complete list of his poetry volumes can be found at the Time Being Books Web site. Brodsky's personal website, http://www.louisdanielbrodsky.com/, includes a number of his Faulkner publications: see http://www.louisdanielbrodsky.com/faulknermain.html.

Hidden Depths Vera Stanhope #4 by Ann Cleeves.
Unable to tear myself away from Ann Cleeves' Vera Stanhope series and the world within, I found myself finishing book 2 and moving straight to book 3, Hidden Depths. Unlike the first two books in this series, I recalled the TV show based on this particular story quite well, but not so well I could remember the killer or motivation for the murders. Thus, when the book opens with the death of a young, beautiful man, Luke, in his own home, strangled and then placed in a bathtub full of water and strewn with flowers ala Sir John Everett Millais' Ophelia, I vividly remembered the scene but again, not quite what happened next.
Vera and her team are called to find the culprit but, when a second body, that of the beautiful student teacher, Lily Marsh is also found dead, in water and with flowers strewn around, Vera understands that not only are the two crimes linked, but a dangerous and possibly unhinged killer is on the loose and, the longer she or he remains free, the likelihood of another body being found is high.
Unable at first to find connections between Luke and his family and Lily Marsh, it's only when Vera, Joe and the other investigators look at the area in which Lily was found and the group of close friends who discovered her body that clues and links start to surface. Knowing the answer lies within this tight friendship group and the secrets they hold as well as the passion they share for not only bird-watching (what is it about bird-watchers that makes them so likely to commit murder? I only recently watched an episode of Midsomer Murders – for the tenth time – featuring murderous bird-watchers! It's enough to make you twitch – sorry) but one of the wives, Vera is tested to her limits. As she begins to doubt her instincts, they kick in harder. But will she listen to them, or allow self-doubt to govern?
Another atmospheric, character-driven story by the fabulous Cleeves. With each book, the personality of Vera and elements of her past come to the fore, enabling the reader to get to know this force of nature even better. Vulnerable yet strong, riven with regrets and insecurities, smart and aware she's oft under-estimated, Vera is a terrific, rich character whose full depths are yet to be plumed. The other people populating this novel are also beautifully drawn and it's testimony to Cleeves' skill that she's able to paint such fabulous and intricate word-portraits in such short spaces. Joe Ashworth is the character yet to be revealed to those who love the TV series and I already know from commencing Book #4, that it's in these pages that he begins to shine.
Another great read.

The Word is Murder by Anthony Horowitz
I have long been a fan of Horowitz's work – from his screen plays in Midsomer Murders to Foyle's War, his Sherlock Holmes books and Magpie Murders, so was very excited to read his latest, The Word is Murder.
What an unusual and gripping book it is. Opening with a woman, Diana Cowper who, after planning her own funeral, is found dead hours later, this is not the most captivating element of this engrossing book. The most unusual and fascinating aspect is that Horowitz inserts himself as both narrator and a character into the story.
Drawn into the investigation of Cowper's murder when it's used to bait him into writing a book about the lead investigator, a curmudgeonly fellow named Hawthorne, Horowitz finds himself playing reluctant second-fiddle to the irascible and narcissistic ex-copper. Thrown out of the Met some years earlier for something he refuses to discuss with Horowitz, Hawthorne is nonetheless employed on a consultancy basis to run parallel investigations – the murder of Diana Cowper being one such instance. His policing talents, he informs Horowitz, being formidable.
Horowitz finds the story surrounding the murder too compelling and reluctantly agrees to write the book, shadowing the detective who, as the novel progresses, slowly reveals he is more than first impressions indicate.
When another body turns up after Diana's actual funeral, Horowitz is not only hooked, but finds himself desiring to play detective as well. Only, he's a far better writer than he is a gum-shoe investigator, and he finds himself putting his foot in it on more than one occasion.
Often self-deprecating, Horowitz's unreliable narrator-writer-would-be-detective is also highly amusing. Not afraid to name-drop, the reader l
earns of meetings with the likes of Spielberg and Peter Jackson, his agonies over Foyle's War and his Alex Jackson series of YA novels among many others. His relationship with his agent is woven into the story as are his writerly doubts, ego and undoubted joy in what he does – well, the agony and the ecstasy.
Playing with the genres of autobiography, biography, crime and mystery, Horowitz writes and is written into a book that celebrates and defies all of these. The main plot is intriguing enough to satisfy any crime buff, but what is delightful and extraordinary about this book is Horowitz's role and the relationship between truth and fiction, characters and their creators, the art of writing versus the business and so much in-between.
A terrific page-turner of a novel that once you start, you'll find impossible to put down.

Book Review: The Casual Vacancy, J.K. Rowling
W hy is it that when a songwriter or singer changes genres we applaud their daring, write, and speak about how multi-talented they are; how fortunate we are to gain so much pleasure from their creativity? But, when a famous author dares to switch genres, there are rumblings and grumblings and unfair expectations placed upon them – before the work is even published? Warning the marketplace that The Casual Vacancy would be nothing like the Harry Potter books, that it was for adults and quite depressing, Rowling was nonetheless encumbered with criticisms and snubs for having the literary presumption to leave Potterworld. Yet, she was blunt: if you were looking for Hogwarts and wizards, she warned, they would not be found in the pages of her new book. Yet, so many reviewers have come to the novel with the expectation that, for some reason, they should be there, even if just a glimmer, whisper or peek. They practically accuse her of letting readers down, of abusing her position as a world-famous writer instead of giving her the benefit of the doubt and congratulating her for demonstrating such imagination and lexical dexterity.
Frustrated by attitudes, stories and some reviews (which were not reviews because it was clear the book hadn't been read, rather they were more rebukes) the publication of this book produced, it was hard not to let them tarnish the reading experience. I tried to approach this book as I would any other by a beloved author who decided to try their hand at something different and read and rate it on its own merits – and I was not disappointed. But, as Rowling warned, it's no Harry Potter: the only magical thing is the writing, which is superb.
The Casual Vacancy is, frankly, brilliantly awful. Set across two English towns, Pagford and The Fields, one with a very acute awareness of its history, the other a by-product of late modernity, they are inhabited by a cast of mostly toxic characters who illustrate, through their small-mindedness and mean-spiritedness, the pettiness that can exist in supposed idyllic English village-like communities. As I read, I kept thinking of a quote about academia that's been attributed to Henry Kissinger (among others), that "the politics are so vicious because the stakes are so low" – I think this sums Rowling's book up nicely.
After the death of a member of the local council, Barry Fairclough, various members of the Pagford community vie for his vacant seat. As they do, the reader is drawn into the complexity and ugliness of what should be simple lives, albeit, affected by mourning and loss. Populated by ego-centric, gossiping, classist, racist, homophobic, alcoholic, drug-taking self-interested people, Pagford and The Fields appear to be governed by folk who can barely function in their own lives, let alone make decisions that will affect others. And, as the council move towards another election, it becomes clear that one person's loss is potentially another's gain.
Not even the children in this miserable tale are spared the less attractive qualities the adults so readily exhibit, and is it any wonder when the grown-ups are their role-models? The kids have learned their lessons well. Dishonest, thieving, sneaky and risk-takers, they are both effect and cause of the outcomes.
As the story progresses, Rowling demonstrates her uncanny ability to mine a character's emotions and psychology, to peel back layers to explain even the most unlikely or heinous of behaviours, to provide a context for understanding (but rarely approving). Piecing together the jigsaw of individuality, family and community, she mercilessly flays the characters, forensically dismantles their psyches and leaves them in the equivalent of a mortuary for us to gaze upon in horror.
For example, there's Simon, violent, bad-tempered and his ineffectual wife, Ruth; their two boys, Andrew (called "pizza-face" by his aggressive, abusive father) and "Pauline"; Parminder, the local doctor, surprised by her reaction to a fellow-councilman's death and who appears to understand the bodies and minds of all the townspeople in her care but not her own children. Her dashing heart-surgeon husband, Sukhvinder, regarded as a hero by those he loathes, especially the Mollisons – a work of gruesome art – for whom Rowling shows very little sympathy. Empathy is reserved for some of the residents of The Fields as well as the children in the novel who can do little more than suffer their parents and their foibles, until they discover the means to revenge – not served cold, but molten hot.
The race is on to secure the vacant council seat and, as the story progresses, skeletons are exposed, secrets uncovered. Everyone in this novel is damaged – severely and, when terrible tragedy unfolds, it's only the myopic townsfolk who didn't see it coming.
The writing is what makes this bleak book. While Rowling does head-hop (a cardinal sin in most author's hands), she does it with aplomb and there's a sense in which this becomes a stylistic of the narrative. We drift from one character's thoughts to another's, caught in the current of activity, the plots and plans of little men and women. In terms of the tone, I was reminded of Elizabeth George's marvellous and heart-rending What Came Before He Shot Her, only this book is firmly rooted in the middle classes (though there are those who feature who can no longer claim a place there) and the life decisions that can affect generations. Also, George's book redeems some characters – see if you think the same happens here. I have also heard, again before publication, that the book was likened to Midsomer Murders. The Casual Vacancy make Midsomer Murders seem like Narnia – before the White Witch.
Drugs, suicide, rape, incest, adultery, criminal activity, violent abuse, shocking neglect, fear, anxiety, OCD, dark fantasies, cruelty, it's all there – relentless, but darkly fascinating at the same time. Rowling really raised (or lowered) the writing stakes with this book.
No, this wasn't what anyone expected… but how marvellous is that?

Residents hear Act 46 merger proposal at Flood Brook School
Bruce Frauman | Feb 15, 2017 | Comments 0
Study Committee member Deb Lyneis of Weston gives a presentation on the merger proposal Photos by Bruce Frauman
By Bruce Frauman
©2017 Telegraph Publishing LLC
Around 50 people braved the single digit temperatures and blowing snow on Thursday, Feb. 9 to attend an Act 46 School Merger Forum at Flood Brook School in Londonderry. The hour-long presentation by study committee member Debra Lyneis outlined the proposed merger of schools for nine towns into the Taconic and Green School District.
The towns in the proposed district would share one school board, one budget and, after five years, one equalized education tax rate. The new district would retain 9-12 school choice and remain in the BRSU. The State Board of Education granted a preliminary waiver so that the new district would retain fair representation on the BRSU board. Other towns in the BRSU are Rupert, Pawlet, and Winhall.
The Mountain Town Regional Education District (made up of Londonderry, Weston, Peru and Landgrove) operates a K-8 school and tuitions out its 9-12 grade students, as do the towns of Dorset and Manchester. A Yes vote is required in each of these towns, identified as "necessary" on the official ballot, for the merger to take place.
Weston select board members Jim Linville and Annie Fuji'i listen to the proposal.
The towns of Danby, Mt. Tabor and Sunderland currently offer school choice for grades 7 and 8. Approval in these towns, identified as "advisable" on the ballot, is not necessary for the new district of be formed. A frequently asked questions hand out states that "the merger included a grandfather provision to allow students" from these three towns "to continue to attend schools outside of the new district during a transition period."
The study committee met 14 times and came to an unanimous agreement on the merger. The State Board of Education approved the merger in December so it could be put before the voters.
All towns in the proposed Taconic and Green School District will vote on the merger by Australian ballot on town meeting day, March 7. Lyneis said the ballot is several pages long but concludes with a simple Yes/No vote on the merger proposal. Candidates for the initial board of directors from each of the towns also appear on the ballot along with four at-large board directors. This year two are from Manchester and one each from Dorset and Danby.
Londonderry select board member Paul Gordon asks about having an at large member from the Mountain Town RED.
Londonderry Select Board member Paul Gordon said he wants an at-large candidate from the Mountain Town RED and merger committee chair Jon Wilson noted that the at-large positions are only for one-year terms. Londonderry Town Clerk Kelly Pajala confirmed that any new at-large candidates would have to be write-ins. In its first year, the new board would meet in parallel with the existing boards before taking over the new district in July 2018.
"Act 46 now encourages districts to seek merger partners, but it is encouragement with a lot of teeth," Lyneis said, "minimum district size is 900 students and we only have 425 … we have to merge." Lyneis observed that the Mountain Town RED joined the Bennington Rutland Supervisory Union, in part, to preserve high school choice. Now, Lyneis added, "In order to preserve school choice, we must merge with districts with similar choice options."
The merger must be voted on by July 2017 to receive tax incentives. Lyneis said, "If we don't merge, the state will merge districts for us" in 2019. The plan is "to shape our own destiny under the law."
Study committee member Dick Dale addresses issues of local control
During a discussion on local control, study committee member Dick Dale noted that "the other critical point is that the majority of students who currently attend Flood Brook would continue to attend Flood Brook. . . .when we talked about the flexibility of students, there might be some occasions where a student might need a different environment to start over. With this larger system, that would certainly be possible. The majority of parent interaction is with your local teacher and then with your local administrators. These people aren't going away. We voted for the merger because on balance – a tremendous benefit to all of the children. That was our overarching concern."
By merging into the new district, schools will be able to provide programs some cannot offer now including foreign language, drama, music, sports, and advanced math.
"Now we can all be under one roof and do those things," Lyneis said.
Lyneis said that benefits of the merger included preserving 9-12 school choice, streamlining of governance and management, and flexibility to share resources across schools and flexible grouping of students among schools.
"One school board instead of seven," Lyneis said, "Seven school boards is a lot for a supervisory union to manage. They spend a lot of time preparing for and attending school board meetings. That's time they could spend focusing on education of kids."
Study committee chair Jon Wilson explains how a larger district can smooth out tax spikes from school choice.
Short term cost savings already took place with the creation of the RED and within the BRSU. Long term cost savings could come from more streamlined bus management, centralized purchasing, maintenance, food service and technology.
Wilson noted that much of the volatility in the tax rates is due to 9-12 school choice. School boards have to budget for the number of 9-12 students they predict will come in. Last year Mountain Town RED had 10 fewer students than they predicted, so had a surplus. "Manchester had 25 more students then they budgeted for so that brings you into a deficit," said Wilson, "with that larger scale, we really hope the volatility in the tax rate will diminish."
In anticipation of the merger, according to Lyneis, school districts are applying reserve funds to current budgets to reduce tax rates. If the plan is passed before July 2017, tax reductions of 8, 6, 4,and 2 cents per hundred would be applied to the tax rates successively in the four years following merger.
