After just a couple months of living in it, though, I find I'm falling in love with this undistinguished - and indistinguishable – house, despite its lack of pedigree. Life within its un-historic confines is proving to be surprisingly freeing. My neighbors have windows made from 200-year-old hand-blown glass and chimneys wide as redwoods, but I feel no sense of envy toward these historically significant Joneses. I drive past centuries of style with every supermarket run, and return to my 1960s Cape on its concrete-block foundation, knowing that if a pipe bursts or an electrical outlet shorts out, I won't need an architectural-history degree to make things right again. My last two homes in Chicago each had their own unique historical aspects, each an example of a classic style unique to that city's storied design past.

Dr Kanwaljit Singh Sidhu, president, Fish Farmers Association, Punjab, said more than 3,000 farmers had opted for fish farming in the past few years. They were also getting good returns (as compared to wheat and paddy). He said if the state government started a processing plant to debone the fish, huge amount of fish could be exported to countries like Thailand, Finland and Malaysia. We are satisfied for the time being but if we start producing more fish, we will have a problem of marketing. In Punjab, bonefish is consumed by migrant population only. Others prefer to have boneless fish. We are producing varieties like Katla, Rohu, Morak, Common Carp, Grass Carp and Silver Carp, which have bones. We cannot produce boneless fish because of different climates here, said Dr Sidhu. He further informed that state had 12,650 villages and each village had 2-3 ponds, which could be renovated and made available for fish farming.

The mother of one of five women found murdered in Suffolk has told a court that she barely knew her daughter. The body of Gail Adams's 25-year-old daughter, Gemma, whom she had not seen for several months, was found in a brook near Ipswich in December 2006. Earlier Ipswich Crown Court heard from fellow victim Tania Nicol's mother, Kerry, who said she was unaware her 19-year-old daughter was a prostitute. Steve Wright, 49, of Ipswich, has denied murdering the five women. Mrs Adams told the jury that contact with her daughter had mainly consisted of text messages. Earlier the court heard from Pc Janet Humphrey, of Suffolk Constabulary, who told how efforts had been made to curb prostitution in Ipswich. The court has heard that the five women - Miss Nicol, Miss Adams, Anneli Alderton, 24, Paula Clennell, 24, and Annette Nicholls, 29 - went missing during six weeks from October to December 2006 before their bodies were found.

I still believe little children will some day live in a world where they are judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.But "some day" is not here. Not yet. And that is the Last Word. Check out more Jami Floyd blogs on 'In Session' .
Plucky Jaiden beats odds
WHEN tiny Jaiden Kimber entered the world an amazing 17 weeks early, he joined an exclusive club of medical marvels. The bright-eyed babe is one of SA's most premature babies to live, teetering on the limits of survival when born at 22 weeks and six days. The fact he survived, weighing just 570g is remarkable – and a testament to the skills of medical staff at the Women's and Children's Hospital. But he also faced another heartbreaking set of odds. Parents Sheena and Jared, both 36, had lost three out of four babies through a string of unrelated events that doctors compare to lightning striking again in the same place. In just five years, Mrs Kimber lost her 16-week premature baby Luke hours after he was born; six months later she suffered an ectopic pregnancy, then a year later she had a miscarriage.
'Shining City' illuminates depths of despair
Some of us come out the other side of that as deeper people. Some of us get stuck for life in its morass.
That's pretty much what "Shining City," Conor McPherson's extraordinary Irish drama and the first of this astonishing writer's truly great plays, is all about. And it's a measure of McPherson's ear for the delicacy of the human condition that this also is a wry, funny, humanistic and compassionate story. At the Goodman Theatre on Sunday night, this 100-minute yarn pulled in the audience as if they were hearing a tall tale told over a pint and a bag of crisps. And then by shockingly undermining the few certainties upon which we think we still can cling in this brutally relativist world, McPherson then smacks you right in the gut.
I've seen and reviewed "Shining City" three times -- London, New York and now Chicago.
