Where recent international surveys have placed indigenous artists at the margins of Australian life (three years ago, Berlin's "Face Up: Contemporary Art from Australia" included only one), visitors to "Prism" could be forgiven for thinking that Aboriginal art now occupies the center. Here, prominent non-Aboriginal artists such as Piccinini, Rosemary Laing and Fiona Hall, for once, become the minority. But because of the quietly considered way the pictures are hung, the Aboriginal upstaging appears neither jarring nor odd but perfectly natural. In this way it reflects both the heightened interest in Aboriginal art internationally, and its growing impact...
...Dateline's targets deserve to be put away, and programs like it do a service by alerting parents to threats. And last week, which also saw the schoolhouse murders of five Amish girls by a stranger who evidently planned to rape his victims, the media could be forgiven its wall-to-wall weirdo watch. The problem is proportion. Strangers make up 7% of child molesters; the vast majority are family members. But you wouldn't know it from watching TV. When stranger predators are everywhere on TV, it suggests that they are everywhere in the real world: in your schoolyard...

A main reason this conference has lasted for 28 years is because both kinds of parents are welcome...
...just one in seven of the available votes to put himself over the 50 percent mark. But that may not be as easy as it sounds. Neither of the two main defeated candidates are likely to back him. Heloisa Helena, the former PT Senator who polled 6.9%, has never forgiven Lula for throwing her out of the party for being too leftist. And Cristovam Buarque, another disillusioned former PT stalwart who polled 2.6% with a single-issue campaign focused on education, should see his supporters move towards Alckmin...
...Tourism officials have rolled out a new advertising campaign, featuring a new slogan ("COME FALL IN LOVE WITH NEW ORLEANS ALL OVER AGAIN") and homegrown celebrities such as Emeril Lagasse, Wynton Marsalis and actress Patricia Clarkson. But prospective tourists could be forgiven if they're still confused. Almost since the slow recovery began, New Orleans has been sending mixed messages, begging the federal government for more financial help and asking the state to send in the National Guard to help battle a violent crime wave, while assuring skittish tourists and convention planners that the city's historic attractions are intact...
