Pat's Papers has two videos up on Indian Pole Gymnastics, or Mallakhamb.

Wikipedia says there are three varieties, including Rope Mallakhamb and Hanging Mallakhamb.

That's pretty amazing. You should definitely watch those videos.

One about nighttime care for patients with Alzheimer's, who are often more active at night. The idea seems like a good one, but the text of the article veers into condescension often - referring to your elders as being "like a kindergartener" is never a good thing.

An article on the Amish, religious freedom, and septic codes. It seems to me that your religious freedom ends right about when other people have to drink the water too. Blech.

An editorial on same-sex marriage. This politician was shocked - shocked, I say! - to find out that gay people don't want to force homophobic churches to marry them. Uh, duh?

An article on girl's sports teams in cities.
It comes with a slideshow

One about attempts to increase tourism on Staten Island.

I've seen those booths in the Ferry Terminal, and all I can say is "wishful thinking". (Seriously, there are a lot of tourists to Snug Harbor, which is really pretty, but all the shit that's going on there means it's not nearly as good as it could be. That's a problem with a *lot* of tourist-potential spots on SI, they're badly run or badly managed, or simply badly designed, because people figure "nobody's heading out here anyway", and so there's nothing for people to head out here *for*, and there could be!)

One on the much-touted official double dutch teams in NYC public schools. (Interesting fact about me, I can't jump rope.)

And one about a cop, and a bicyclist, and a collision, and a heck of a lot of videos of the event.

It's possible the cop isn't actually lying, just that his memory is seriously flawed. I guess.
