All aboard the monoline Titanic
That's the sine qua non of a so-called commercial rescue of the Rock. But it is literally the worst time in recorded history to buy such insurance. The one or two reinsurers still in business can charge what they like for this service. Would it be in taxpayers interest for the chancellor and prime minister to pay out eye-watering amounts of our money for this bond-wrap or guarantee? Mr Brown and Mr Darling be make a tasty dish for the Public Accounts Committee if they even thought about doing so. Update 09:29: Oh to have been a fly on the wall in the offices of New Star, the fund manager, when its share opened more than 40% lower this morning, knocking more than £130m off the value of the company. The reaction from John Duffield - New Star's strong-willed founder who is probably best known for having made some colourful remarks about the Germans a few years ago - would probably have been great theatre.

Apple Wants To Make DRM Extortion Explicit
For years, DRM critics have been arguing that the technology isn't so much about stopping piracy as it is about taking away traditional fair use privileges and then selling them back to you. I've agreed with this for a while, but I never thought I'd see a major DRM vendor admit it so candidly: Steve Jobs has apparently been pitching Hollywood studios on the idea of selling "premium" DVDs that include an iTunes-compatible version of the movie. For an extra $3 or $4, you can buy the privilege of playing your legally-purchased movie on the device of your choice—well, the Apple-manufacturered device of your choice, anyway. Only the DMCA makes this kind of extortion possible. Tools like HandBrake make it possible to convert a DVD to an iPod-compatible format without any help from Apple, but Handbrake is an illegal "circumvention device" under the DMCA.
Reviews: Preschool to Grade 4
Grandpa's lap also has to be shared, but Grandma's hugs are big enough for everyone. Toys aren't always shared and others are blamed when something goes wrong. But regardless, these cousins have a strong bond. Rodriguez's illustrations attempt to re-create the chaos that ensues when a large family gets together, but the figures often appear stiff and lifeless. The Spanish translation has some missteps, especially the sentence, "We sing and dance in make-believe parades." The Spanish translation renders this as "…desfiles de mentira," literally "parades of lies." Surely there is a gentler way to translate this idea. This book is ultimately too simple, and the illustration and design too pedestrian, to be successful. It just doesn't capture the message of solidarity or reflect a joyful celebration of family.—Tim Wadham, Maricopa County Library District, Phoenix, AZ BLUMENTHAL, Deborah.
