...police station was sprayed with gunfire in 1998, is also code for violent misfits in the fantasyland of the State's law and order politics. The Lakemba stigma, says Steve Conlon, principal of St. Therese primary, is evident in a decision by his Catholic school's P&F to scrub the suburb from its organization's name. Unemployment here is high, particularly among boys and men with low levels of education. Families live in small apartments; hope one day of a better home, with a yard for the kids, gives Lakemba a transient disposition, says Conlon. Yet, as in many...

...image a step further by appearing more intimate and less self-conscious about addressing what politicians usually regard as softer issues. He's talking freely about family life, for example, about loneliness, stress, uncertainty and love. Beazley is having a Latham moment. One of the things Labor didn't scrub along with Latham is a determination to grapple with slippery "psych" terms like community and social relationships.

You become a better doctor when you notice patterns, when you get out of your own way enough to hear real complaints and treat them.

...sure that your toilet seat is Harvard-Yale tailgate-dry before covering it with a toilet seat cover. Afterwards, wash your hands with soap and water. Simple, right? Maybe not. A 2005 study by the American Society for Microbiology found that while 91 percent of American adults claim they scrub their hands post-loo, researchers in four cities discovered that a mere 83 percent actually washed. So quit worrying about your toilet and take a tip from gross-out king Howard Stern. Even he, a man who farts into his microphone, refuses to shake hands...
