Of course, we can't let the Democrats completely off the hook. They
weren't fighting that hard in 2002 when they voted for the Iraq War
Resolution. Now the Democratic Party has more spine and more leverage
although we still criticize them anyway because, well, that's what we need
to do in order for the Democratic Party to continue being the party of FDR,
Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson and Bill Clinton.

the new head of the DOJ's antitrust division, and the 18 state attorneys
general who are also involved, now have their hands free to pursue

also have a blueprint from which to work: the list of interim provisions that
Thomas Penfield Jackson, Judge Kollar-Kotelly's predecessor, had ordered
last June pending a break-up.

FIT TO BE TIED:
There is the most hilarious six-minute video. We're not gonna play the
whole thing for you, but a bunch of employees of the New York Times are
just fit to be tied that that Little Pinch wants to change their pension plan
on 'em. The New York Times right now has a "defined benefit plan" which
basically is what General Motors used to have and what a lot of big
companies used to have until they found out they couldn't afford it. What
happened was that in negotiating union contracts, they allowed early
retirement in some of these places 'cause the jobs were so mundane and
boring.
Across the board, the economists find that industries that adopted IT at
faster rates (as measured by their IT spending, as well as their spending
on research and development) also saw the fastest growth in demand for
the most educated workers, and the sharpest declines in demand for people
with intermediate levels of education. (The Economist)
In China the numbers in senior positions are rising across the board, and
in India women are getting top jobs in the crucial IT industry. (The

been predicted that in an era when laissez-faire market economics were
all the rage Sens insistence on looking beyond GNP figures his penchant
for emphasizing the social in the social science of economics meant that

Well, I think maybe because the previous view was mostly mistaken. There
was a tension in it. The market economy succeeds not because some
peoples interests are suppressed and other people are kept out of the
market, but because people gain individual advantage from it. So, I dont
really see that the proponents of the harsh model got the general idea at
all right. They had some dreadful slogans like, You have to break some
eggs to make an omelet. Its a totally misleading analogy a pretty costly
one aesthetically, and also its quite mistaken in terms of understanding
the nature of man. So, I think the change came about because it was
overdue.

My son is 6 and has his arm in a plaster cast after having surgery to repair
a nasty fracture. He is finding the plaster uncomfortable because the skin
underneath feels itchy. Is there anything that can relieve this problem?
(Jane Burgess, Stockport)
This is a common complaint, especially in the first few days after a plaster
cast has been put on. It can take a while to get used to.
Its important that your son doesnt try to relieve the itch by sticking
something under the cast, such as a pen, ruler or knitting needle. He could
damage the skin, which could lead to an infection. It would be a good idea
to avoid sandpits, as sand can exacerbate the problem. Keeping small
objects, such as marbles or tiny beads, out of the way for now would be a
sensible precaution, too.
There are a few things you could try to help him to feel more comfortable.
If the edge of the cast is slightly rough, file it down to make it smooth.
Sometimes itching can be relieved by blowing cold air from a hair dryer into
the cast. You could also try Piriton, an antihistamine, available over the
counter that helps to relieve itching. Talk to your pharmacist about the dose
your son would need.

ABSTRACT
Based on concepts of citizenship and human rights, this article aims to show
how inclusive education policies, notwithstanding the progressive
legislation, are limited by the lack of an effective basic education policy.
The three stages of basic education do not form a universal path, since
kindergarten and high school are not universal. Besides, the presence of
Brazil on the international scene, associated with its historical uneven
distribution of wealth, stimulate targeted compensatory policies rather than
public policies that would ensure equal opportunities. The traditional efforts
made by educators and intellectuals are not enough - only a vigorous social
movement can assure the effectiveness of these rights.

Nowhere to go but up
Brazil is suffering its worst recession since the 1930s, perhaps of all time.
On June 1st the government reported that GDP contracted by 0.3% in real
terms in the first quarter of this year; it is 5.4% smaller than it was a year
earlier. Over that period GDP per person dropped by more than it did during
the hyperinflationary lost decade from 1981 to 1992, notes Alberto
Ramos of Goldman Sachs, an investment bank. Over two years the number
of jobless Brazilians rose from 7m to 11m. It is a downright depression,
says Mr Ramos.
The task of pulling Brazil out of this morass falls to Michel Temer, who took
over as interim president after the Senate voted in May to try President
Dilma Rousseff on impeachment charges. Politically, his government has
had a rough start. Two of the ministers in his all-white, all-male cabinet,
including the one in charge of fighting corruption, had to step aside after
recordings were leaked in which they appeared to criticise prosecutors
investigation of the massive corruption scandal surrounding Petrobras, the
state-controlled oil company. They say they were misinterpreted.
Despite watching two ministers sink into the quicksand of the Petrobras
scandal, Mr Temer has managed to keep his government functioning. That
may be in part because Brazilians have low expectations. A handful of other
members of his cabinet are under investigation, as is Renan Calheiros, the
president of the Senate and a member of Mr Temers Party of the Brazilian
Democratic Movement, who features in the leaked recordings. But neither
Congress nor the voters are demanding the toppling of Mr Temers

A tragic split
HOW quickly the unthinkable became the irreversible. A year ago few
people imagined that the legions of Britons who love to whinge about the
European Unionsilly regulations, bloated budgets and pompous
bureaucratswould actually vote to leave the club of countries that buy
nearly half of Britains exports. Yet, by the early hours of June 24th, it was
clear that voters had ignored the warnings of economists, allies and their
own government and, after more than four decades in the EU, were about
to step boldly into the unknown.
Although the EU needs to deal with popular anger, the remedy lies in
boosting growth. Completing the single market in, say, digital services and
capital markets would create jobs and prosperity. The euro zone needs
stronger underpinnings, starting with a proper banking union. Acting on

HOW quickly the unthinkable became the irreversible. A year ago few
people imagined that the legions of Britons who love to whinge about the
European Unionsilly regulations, bloated budgets and pompous
bureaucratswould actually vote to leave the club of countries that buy
nearly half of Britains exports. Yet, by the early hours of June 24th, it was
clear that voters had ignored the warnings of economists, allies and their
own government and, after more than four decades in the EU, were about
to step boldly into the unknown.
Although the EU needs to deal with popular anger, the remedy lies in
boosting growth. Completing the single market in, say, digital services and
capital markets would create jobs and prosperity. The euro zone needs
stronger underpinnings, starting with a proper banking union. Acting on
age-old talk of returning powers, including labour-market regulation, to

Eyebrows were raised when Amartya Sen won the Nobel Prize in Economics
in 1998. Sen had frequently been mentioned as a candidate, but it had
been predicted that in an era when laissez-faire market economics were all
the rage Sens insistence on looking beyond GNP figures his penchant for
emphasizing the social in the social science of economics meant that he
would never win the prize.
I dont think development is softer that implies its not sufficiently exacting
but certainly there was a sense for a while that development was a very
hard process, and that people had to sacrifice. There was a lot of blood,
sweat, and tears involved.

Well, I think maybe because the previous view was mostly mistaken. There
was a tension in it. The market economy succeeds not because some
peoples interests are suppressed and other people are kept out of the
market, but because people gain individual advantage from it. So, I dont
really see that the proponents of the harsh model got the general idea at
all right. They had some dreadful slogans like, You have to break some
eggs to make an omelet. Its a totally misleading analogy a pretty costly
one aesthetically, and also its quite mistaken in terms of understanding
the nature of man. So, I think the change came about because it was
overdue.

Brigitte Bardot said she hoped Sarah Palin would lose the election
The sixties sex symbol said that Republican John McCains running mate
was disconcertingly stupid and that she hoped she would lose the
November 4 presidential elections.
I hope you lose these elections because that would be a victory for the
world, she went on.
She lashed out at her for supporting Arctic oil exploration that could threaten
ecosystems and for dismissing measures to protect polar bears. This shows
your total lack of responsibility, your inability to protect or simply respect
animal life, she wrote.
The 74-year-old former film star is notorious in France for her outspoken
views on immigration, the environment and animal rights. She has been
convicted and fined four times in Paris for anti-gay and racist remarks.
Earlier this year, a French court fined Mrs Bardot 15,000 for inciting racial
hatred by writing that she had had enough of Muslims destroying France.

My son is 6 and has his arm in a plaster cast after having surgery to repair
a nasty fracture. He is finding the plaster uncomfortable because the skin
underneath feels itchy. Is there anything that can relieve this problem?
(Jane Burgess, Stockport)
This is a common complaint, especially in the first few days after a plaster
cast has been put on. It can take a while to get used to.
Its important that your son doesnt try to relieve the itch by sticking
something under the cast, such as a pen, ruler or knitting needle. He could
damage the skin, which could lead to an infection. It would be a good idea
to avoid sandpits, as sand can exacerbate the problem. Keeping small
objects, such as marbles or tiny beads, out of the way for now would be a
sensible precaution, too.
There are a few things you could try to help him to feel more comfortable.
If the edge of the cast is slightly rough, file it down to make it smooth.
Sometimes itching can be relieved by blowing cold air from a hair dryer into
the cast. You could also try Piriton, an antihistamine, available over the
counter that helps to relieve itching. Talk to your pharmacist about the dose
your son would need.
