Fashion's long tale: one size fits all eight of them
Chief executive Ian Moir, creative director Sophie Holt and a fleet of waiters bearing flutes of champagne welcomed media and VIP customers to a flash tent pitched across the Yarra River's historic Morell Bridge in South Yarra. They introduced a short, sharp show of urban sophisticates on a slick, black catwalk. Boy models thumped along in Doc Martens boots and modern, easy mixes of tailored casuals, knits and lean, straight-leg trousers. Nothing too complicated; just the way the average Country Road bloke has always liked it. The girl models, on the other hand, thundered in and out on patent platform wedges, in neat, chic little tailored dress coats, chunky waffled textured short-sleeved crop and belted long-body cardigan knits before a fancy finale of black matte silk and satin mini dresses.
Councilor to push for video cams
John Eagleton's suggestion for police car cameras is linked to saving money.
Councilor John Eagleton said this week he will push for video cameras in Tulsa police cars when he can make a compelling case that they would end up saving the city money.
"Many other jurisdictions use this technology," he said following Tuesday's council committee meetings.
"I think cameras would cut down on lawsuits and serve as compelling evidence in a high-speed chase or when an officer observes an accident."
Fifteen years ago, more than 120 Tulsa police cars had cameras installed following the death of Officer Gus Spanos, who was shot while making a traffic stop.
It was part of a $500,000 private "Camcorders for Cops" fundraising effort.

Of Sacred and Secular
Thanks for sharing your perspective, Thomas. Permalink | Comments (2) | Post your comment CT's view of Pew's religious landscape By Eileen Flynn | Tuesday, February 26, 2008, 12:59 PM Another take on the U.S. Religious Landscape Survey by the Pew Forum. Here's an analysis from Christianity Today's Elesha Coffman who writes: The survey's topline summary describes this scene as "both very diverse and extremely fluid," which is an apt assessment as long as one remembers that the subject examined is a landscape and not, say, a moving crowd in an airport. For all of the often quite illuminating attention they get, non-Christian religions still constitute only about 5 percent of the American population. All religious groups are gaining and losing members in a very competitive environment, but the overall percentages remain fairly stable year to year and even decade to decade.

Domestic Spying
Cenk Uygur: Why Do You Need Immunity If You Haven't Broken the Law? (1 comments) The Bush administration is desperately trying to get immunity for the telecom companies inserted into the next wiretapping bill. But let me ask a simple question - why would the telecom companies need immunity if they didn't break the law? I'm not trying to be clever here. I'm asking a literal question. Isn't this an obvious admission that the administration did ask the large telecommunication companies to break the law ? Tuesday, October 9: Dave Lindorff: What are Progressives Waiting For? (8 comments) The Democrats have made it clear: They're not going to end the war, and they're not going to impeach. They're not even going to stop the spying on Americans.
