How did it go? There was a lot of bacon, apparently. And a good time was had by all — many of whom, I gather, are a shade or two more radical than I am. It sounded like a fun, slightly zany, and not completely unworkable experiment in living, right down to the alternative currencies in gold and silver. Correspondent Robert Smith seems to have set out looking for “nasty, brutish, and short,” and what he found was just… different. The main complaints? First: “There are no guarantees in a free market,” which is nothing if not obviously false. Businesses offer gua...

Hopefully for most of these types of days are not the norm but the exception. However, there are some people who see everything as ‘half-empty’ instead of ‘half-full. Using cutting-edge psychological research, I am interested in finding out if it really matters–Does it matter if we see the glass as half-empty? We are on the cusp of a new revolution in intelligence that affects every aspect of our lives from work and relationships, to our childhood, education, and old age.

University of California, Davis scientists said that the study was the “most rigorous examination to date of blood-mercury levels in children with autism,” and cautioned that the study did not disprove or prove whether mercury plays a role in causing the disorder. The study looked at the mercury levels in 452 participants – 249 with autism, 143 without it and 60 who had other developmental delays – and found levels “essentially the same” in all the children.

A friend of mine wanted to see the movie, The Children, so much he ordered if off of the Amazon UK site. I fought temptation to ask him if I could borrow it. What stopped me was the sudden memory was of the last time years ago of borrowing Man Bites Dog – the uncensored version on VHS, and never getting back to him. Given that not so great precedent, I decided to keep my mouth shut. When the line up for the festival came out, I was delighted to see that they had brought in The Children for a screening. The director was not able to be there, however, he did send a message to be read via email.

I had already left to teach an early class and Jim gave me the report: It had been confusing. Charlie has grown accustomed to standing in the long driveway in front of my in-laws’ house and running back and forth on the lawn while waiting for the bus; today, Jim tried to determine if they should wait in the tidy parking lot or on the main street (the former, the bus driver assured him). Thursday had had a larger than usual share of anxious moments: Charlie had the day off for school for Rosh Hashanah and my parents left today for California and Charlie was keenly aware of this.
