passing lane
Diagram showing lanes and road layout, with Irish road markings.
A passing lane is the lane on a multi-lane highway or motorway closest to the center of the road (the central reservation).
In North American terminology, the passing lane is often known as a left lane or leftmost lane, due to left hand drive (driving on the right). In British/Irish terminology, the passing lane is termed an outer lane or outside lane, while a normal lane nearer the hard shoulder is termed an inner lane (or inside lane). Note that in some other countries, like Hungary and Australia, the passing lane is called the inner lane (belső sáv in Hungarian), because this lane is the closest to the middle of the road, thus it is the innermost.
In modern traffic planning, passing lanes on freeways are usually designed for through/express traffic, while the inner lanes have entry/exit ramps. However, many freeways often have ramps on the passing lane, these are known as "left exits" in North America.
A passing lane is often colloquially referred to as a fast lane because it is often used for extended periods of time for thru traffic or fast traffic. In theory, a passing lane should only be used for passing, thus allowing, even on a road with only two lanes in each direction, motorists to travel at their own pace. Good driving practice is to slip out of the passing lane once slower cars have been passed. The "fast lane" is also the most commonly used lane for speed limit law breakers (speeders).[citation needed] Many argue that the passing lane should be used for long-term use by fast drivers for long distance travel.[citation needed] Arguments in favor of this idea include decreasing the frequency of traffic jams and highway efficiency.[1]

Henry Chapman Mercer (b. June 24 1856, Doylestown, Pennsylvania - d. 1930, Bucks County, Pennsylvania).
Henry Chapman Mercer was born in Doylestown, Pennsylvania in 1856. He was educated at Harvard University and the University of Pennsylvania Law School. Mercer, however, only practiced law for a short period of time. The University of Pennsylvania Museum appointed Mercer as the Curator of American and Prehistoric Archeology in the early 1890's. Leaving his position with the Museum in the late 1890's, Mercer devoted himself to finding old American artifacts and learning about German pottery. Mercer believed that the American society was being destroyed by industrialism, which inspired his search for American Artifacts. Mercer founded Moravian Pottery and Tile Works in 1898 after apprenticing himself to a Pennsylvania German potter. Mercer was also influenced by the American Arts and Crafts Movement.
Henry Mercer is well known for his research and books about ancient tool making, his ceramic tile creations, and his engineering and architecture. Major accomplishments included the assembly of the collection of early American tools now housed in the Mercer Museum. Mercer's tile work which makes up the floor of the Pennsylvania State Capitol Building in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and many other noteworthy buildings and houses. In the Pennsylvania State Capitol, Mercer created a series of mosaic images for the floor of the building. The series of four hundred mosaics trace the history of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania from prehistoric times. The Pennsylvania State Capitol is the largest single collection of Mercer's tiles. Other collections of tiles by Mercer can be found at Rockefeller's New York estate, Grauman's Chinese Theater, and the casino at Monte Carlo.
The Bucks County Historical Society now owns Fonthill, which is open to the public, as is the Mercer Museum. The Moravian Pottery and Tile Works is owned and operated by the Bucks County Department of Parks & Recreation. These three buildings make up "the Mercer Mile". All three buildings were designed and constructed by Henry Mercer in the early part of the 20th century.
Henry Ford stated that the Mercer museum was the only museum worth visiting in the US, and the Mercer Museum was apparently Henry Ford's inspiration for his own museum, The Henry Ford, located in Dearborn, Michigan. The Mercer Museum houses over forty thousand artifacts from early American society.
Henry Mercer wrote extensively on his interests, which included Archeology, Early tool making, German stove plates, and ceramics.
He died in 1930 at Fonthill, the house he designed and constructed from reinforced concrete in 1908-1912.

“哈耶克的挑戰”Hayek's Challenge: An Intellectual Biography of F. A. Hayek
[美]布魯斯‧考德威爾.{哈耶克評傳}馮克利譯，商務印書館.，2007
Bruce Caldwell, Hayek’s Challenge: An Intellectual Biography of F.A. Hayek,
『ハイエクの挑戦：ハイエクの学問的な伝記』
| 哈耶克是一個謎。距今20多年以前，他在我眼裏就是這樣。 那是1982年的夏天，我在紐約大學一個學年的博士後就要結束。幾年以前，我作為一名助教，以一項經濟思想史的專業研究穫得了經濟學博士學位。我的論文有 個一本正經的學究式題目：“從科學哲學的觀點看經濟學方法論”。我去紐約大學的部分原因是，我想把它改寫成一本人們確實願意讀的書，此外，我還想在那兒研 究一下奧地利人的經濟學，或者更確切地說，進一步了解奧地利人獨特的方法論觀點。它們與主流經濟學家的實證主義話語大不相同，實際上是跟這種話語針鋒相對 的。我尤其想進一步了解米瑟斯所提倡的那種怪怪的。先驗主義方法論，至於哈耶克，我對他幾乎還一無所知。 如果您想了解奧地利人的運動，紐約大 學是個好去處。那兒有(至今仍有)為研究奧地利經濟學而設的正式課程。除了課程之外，還有每周的討論課、教職基金、博士後和研究生。我在那兒的一年裏，教 師有伊斯萊爾‧基爾澤納爾、馬裏奧‧裏佐、傑裏‧奧德里斯考和路德維希‧拉曼(春季學期)。拉裏‧懷特任客座教授，理查‧朗格盧瓦是博士後，還有十幾名學 生，其中包括唐‧波德魯、馬克‧布萊迪、桑迪‧伊科達、羅傑‧科普爾、庫特‧舒勒和喬治‧塞爾金。這裡人才薈萃，對我而言是一段非常豐富的經歷。 那年春天，傑裏‧奧德里斯考遞給我一本特倫斯‧哈奇森的書，然後問我：“哈奇森認為哈耶克有過一次一百八十度的大轉彎，你怎麼看?”哈奇森曾說，哈耶克 在20世紀30年代經歷了一次“方法論上一百八十度的大轉變”。更確切地說，他認為哈耶克在1937年發表的“經濟學與知識”一文，標志著哈耶克已脫離了 米瑟斯的先驗主義立場，轉向哲學家卡爾‧波普提出的證偽主義方法論(Hutchison 1981，chap﹒7；另見Hayek [1937]1948a)。 我對這種說法頗為不解。我在做博士論文時深入研究過波普的思想，當時對米瑟斯的觀點也有較多的了解。坦率地說，難 以想像還有比他們兩人更加南轅北轍的兩種觀點了。一個人怎麼可能發生如此大的變化，從一種觀點轉向另一種觀點呢?然而同樣千真萬確的是，哈耶克是他們兩人 的好友。哈奇森是數一數二的思想史專家，而且是那個時代的過來人，他提供了詳盡的文本證據來支援自己的看法。因此，哈奇森的說法帶來了一個謎。正是為了解 開這個謎，我開始專攻哈耶克。從此以後便潛心於此，儘管有些關心我的朋友也曾好言相勸，別把自己那麼多的雞蛋放在一個籃子裏。我希望在這篇導言裏解釋一下 自己矢志於此的若幹原因。 經濟學家哈耶克在其學術生涯的最初八九年裏是用德語寫作。後來，至少直到1962年去德國以前，他主要是用英語寫 作。也許是採用新的語言表達思想的新鮮感和挑戰，他在選擇標題上十分用心，有時用它們來暗示另一些著作。譬如他在倫敦經濟學院的演說“經濟思想的趨勢”便 暗示著《經濟學的趨勢》，一本由雷克斯福德‧圖格維爾編輯、十年前在美國出版的著作(見Hayek[1933]1991c；Tugwell[1924] 1930)。他的知名度最高的著作《通往奴役之路》([1944]1976b)，標題是取自托克維爾的一句話“通往奴役之路(the road to servitude)”(見Hayek 1983b，76)。另外，我估計，他在芬萊講座上的講稿“個人主義：真與假”[1946]1948c)，也是在暗指奧斯卡‧王爾德的“社會主義制度下人 的靈魂”這篇文章中一段有關個人主義的話。 有時標題還包含著多層含義。使哈奇森認為哈耶克有個“方法論上一百八十度大轉彎”的那篇文章，即 “經濟學與知識”，便是其中之一。它的主題是經濟學理論做出的有關實踐者的知識的假說，但也涉及經濟學家本人能夠知道什麼。對哈耶克的諾貝爾獎演說“知識 的僭妄”([1975]1978a)也可以做如是觀。我本人的標題“哈耶克的挑戰”便是遵循著哈耶克的引導，這個標題是指圍繞他的著作出現的多種挑戰。 ……

Child’s Play Has Become Anything but Simple
Christopher Capozziello for The New York Times
Howard P. Chudacoff, a history professor at Brown University.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — For children, play is easy. You can do it anytime, anywhere, with anyone, and it’s fun. For adults, play is hard. They want to know if it’s safe for their kids, if it’s educational, if it promotes motor coordination, if it’s environmentally friendly, if it will look good on a preschool application.
The tension between how children spend their free time and how adults want them to spend it runs through Howard P. Chudacoff’s new book, “Children at Play: An American History” (New York University Press), like a yellow line smack down the middle of a highway.
“Kids should have their own world, and parents are nuisances,” said Mr. Chudacoff, a professor of history at Brown University.
His critique is increasingly echoed today by parents, educators and children’s advocates who warn that organized activities, overscheduling and excessive amounts of homework are crowding out free time and constricting children’s imaginations and social skills.
“It seems like a really timely book,” said Cindy Dell Clark, a historian at Penn State Delaware County and a consultant to the Please Touch Museum in Philadelphia. “We’ve taken a lot of privacy and autonomy out of a child’s day.”
The topic may seem an odd choice for Mr. Chudacoff, 64, given that he has no children of his own, but then again, Mr. Chudacoff is also the author of a book about bachelors (“The Age of the Bachelor,” Princeton University Press, 1999) even though he has been married for nearly 40 years.
He became interested in the idea for this latest book after coming across a book from the 1950s by Robert Paul Smith titled “Where Did You Go? Out. What Did You Do? Nothing.”
“He was trying to show that adults can be too intrusive,” Mr. Chudacoff explained. Children want to keep their world private, and “it was that world outside of adulthood that I tried to get access to.”
It was a hot, muggy day in Providence, and Mr. Chudacoff was standing in the middle of a small, brightly colored playground with a rubberized base beneath the swings and soft wooden chips around the plastic slide and monkey bars. With school out, many children were at camp or on vacation or in an air-conditioned living room watching television. Wherever they were, though, they were not here. The playground was deserted.
Playgrounds first found their way to the United States from Germany in the 1880s. They spread after the turn of the 20th century, Mr. Chudacoff said, with the idea of keeping children, particularly immigrant and working-class boys, from running wild on the streets of growing cities and from the seductive lure of pool halls and penny arcades.
Boys and girls were segregated, and trained supervisors kept watch. The idea was not simply to provide a play space but also to instill virtue.
Playground supervision “makes it a school of character and of all the social virtues,” Henry S. Curtis, a psychologist who helped form the Playground Association of America in 1906, declared, “whilst the unsupervised playground is apt to get into the hands of older boys, who should be working, and train the children in all of the things they ought not to be trained in.”
Today playgrounds are once again a topic of public debate, only now concerns for educational and environmental values have replaced moral ones. An environmentally friendly restroom with a planted roof and walls is planned for a playground that a celebrity architect, Frank Gehry, has agreed to build in Battery Park in Lower Manhattan.
Meanwhile, the Rockwell Group has designed a play area for South Street Seaport in Lower Manhattan that is based on the “adventure playgrounds” popular in Europe, where there are lots of loose parts, like blocks and buckets, so that children can express their creativity.
What strikes Mr. Chudacoff about the new designs, though, is their built-in need for attendants or “facilitators” — evidence of the familiar impulse to impose adult control.
As Ms. Clark notes, “Parents are thinking that they’re helping kids with play that has a goal.” But she adds, “It’s not really play, because play is something that’s self-determined.”
Mr. Chudacoff grew up in Omaha, the eldest of three children. In the late 1950s and early ’60s, he worked in his uncle’s toy distributing business during summer holidays. “I worked in the warehouse, loading and unloading toys, and packing boxes to be shipped,” he said.
It was right around the time that the toy business was transforming itself. In 1955 “The Mickey Mouse Club” had its premiere on television, running five days a week and sponsored partly by the Mattel Toy Company. Mr. Chudacoff quotes Sydney Ladensohn Stern and Ted Schoenhaus in their book, “Toyland: The High-Stakes Game of the Toy Industry”:
“Mattel’s decision to advertise toys to children on national television 52 weeks a year so revolutionized the industry that it is not an exaggeration to divide the history of the American toy business into two eras, before and after television.”
It divides the history of play, too, Mr. Chudacoff said, because while commercial toys have almost completely colonized children’s free time, for most of history, play primarily meant roaming around the countryside or improvising with objects found or made at home.
Mr. Chudacoff led the way to a small, old-fashioned Providence toy store, Creatoyvity, which carries hardly any toys licensed from television and movies. Mr. Chudacoff looked over the figures of knights and kings, gorillas, giraffes, cows, monkeys, rhinos, chickens and dinosaurs, as well as the beads, blocks, paint, glitter, trucks, cranes, tractors and wooden toys imported from Germany.
“It’s a toy store rather than an entertainment center,” Mr. Chudacoff said, explaining that with so much commercial licensing, toys have become more of an offshoot of the television and film industries than elements of play.
One result is that a toy comes with a prepackaged back story and ready-made fantasy life, he said, meaning that “some of the freedom is lost, and unstructured play is limited.”
Video games put more of a straitjacket on imagination, he complains. And online versions of traditional games like Monopoly don’t permit players to make up their own rules (like winning money when you land on Free Parking), to harvest the fake money and dice for an altogether different game or even to cheat.
Janet Golden, a historian at Rutgers University in Camden, N.J., who is writing a history of babies in the 20th century, points out that when Dr. Seuss’s “Cat in the Hat” was published, in 1957, there were “objections to children using their imaginations — it was subversive” for them to be on their own without the watchful eyes of a mother.
Looking back at diaries, baby books and letters before World War II, Ms. Golden described how people would matter-of-factly write about how “the baby fell down the staircase, the baby fell out of the window.” It used to be accepted, she said, “that in the world, there was a lot of danger, and things happened.”
Sitting on the edge of a slide in the Providence playground, Mr. Chudacoff said that he has two great-nieces who go to a nearby elementary school that doesn’t permit children in kindergarten through third grade to run, jump rope or throw balls during recess for fear of accidents.
“What do they want them to do?,” he said, shaking his head, “stand around and buy drugs?”

Excerpts from `The Best of the World's Worst'
Here are some of the world's "worsts," excerpted from "The Best of the World's Worst" by Stan Lee (General Publishing Group, $10).
That's right, the same Stan Lee that brought us Spiderman, the Fantastic Four and Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos.
The worst name for an artist: Pablo Diego Jose Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno Crispin Crispiano de la Santisima Trinidad Ruiz Y Picasso or Pablo Picasso, for short.
The worst place to find a phone: The country of Chad in Africa has only one telephone per 1,673 people.
The worst nightclub: If you judge the quality of a nightclub by the number of police raids under its belt, then The Outer Limits is the place for you. By August of 1971, the club, opposite the Cow Palace in San Francisco, had been busted for the 150th time.
The worst way to stop a puck: From 1946 to 1971, Gordie Howe skated for the same hockey team, the Detroit Red Wings. Among the records he amassed during the 1,687 games in which he played, Howe received 500 stitches in his face.

＜一砂一世界＞Ｍ型社會下流人的告白 ■南方朔
《2007/08/08 15:37》
最近，美國著名作家凱洛（ Garrison Keillor）編了一本有趣的詩集《艱苦時代必讀詩選》hc補。這本詩集計收詩一八五首，多數都是在談人碰到不如意事時的心情，有安慰、有自嘲、有諷謔。讀了這本詩集，很難不發出會心的苦笑。
其中，我最喜歡的是加拿大女詩人蘿碧恩．莎拉（ Rodyn Saroh, 1949- sic Robyn Sarah 才對--hc案 ）所寫的這首詩：
可能情況不會變得更好
比起它的現在，或我們以為的那樣。
可能我們已在不知不覺裡跌過了中線。
可能我們已跨過了一片汪洋
但自己卻不知道，現在已到了另一邊。
是的，我認為我們已跌到中線之外
而今我們已領到新的入場券，但它不是
那齣我們盼望的戲
而是另一場秀，一場差了很多的秀。
再查一下，信封上的確是我們的名字
入場券的確也是另一個場次。
可能我們會走出那已變黯的大廳
不用等到最後一幕。但別人會
有些人非等到最後不甘心。但也可能
我們會一直留在狹窄的座位上
看完整個沉悶的結局
看到那並不意外的終點－－那被釘住的
被我們不美好人生所咀咒的結局
因為這就是人生
這就是我們。
這首詩，題為＜被釘住的人生＞。它實在可算是當今這個Ｍ型社會裡，那些身不由己，向下沉淪的人底告白。
近年來，不但全世界，甚至各國國內，貧富差距都日益嚴重。這乃是日本專家所謂的「Ｍ型社會」或「下流社會」，愈來愈多人在這個結構下已身不由己的向下沉 淪。如果一個國家的政府無能，這種情況就會格外嚴重。Ｍ型社會再加上來幾次物價飆漲，連最基本的安穩日子都將愈來愈遙遠。
而蘿碧恩．莎 拉的這首詩，所談的就是向下流社會流動的人底心情告白。她用的雖是古典的「人生如戲」這個隱喻，但卻更直接，而且更銳利。我們早已在不知不覺裡向下跌落， 跌到了中線以外；我們的人生戲，等於已換成了另一齣更差的戲。我們拒絕相信，但核對一下入場券，信封上寫的是我們的名字沒錯。
而人生向 下沉淪，有如人生戲愈來愈差。有人不甘心，非要熬到最後一幕，看看是否會有轉機。但熬到最後又怎樣，結局已定，不可能再有讓人驚奇的意外。這就是我們的人 生，充滿了無可奈何。詩裡用「咒住」（ Spellbound）」「鎖住」（ Riveted）這兩個一般少用的字來形容人生下墜，身不由己，格外多出了命定主義的色彩。當我們讀了這樣的詩，在苦笑別人時，又何妨也苦笑我們自己吧！
Robyn Sarah, Poems
The World Is Its Own Museum What is this box of shapes It is not a question to ask. Say I assemble a box of shapesas every human does, because my eye, lighting on them, likes them, because "life" is an inversion of "file", because the world is its own museum. It is not a question to ask, running one's finger over the dusty contours of the unidentified. I assemble a box of shapes as every human does, watching them gather dust in their corner--as we all clutter our corners with the unidentified. We are collectors all, and our collections are collectors too, collecting dust. Still I assemble a box of shapes because my eye, lighting on them, likes them--as my eye (come fresh from the dazzle of afternoon into the gloomy entranceway) lights too with pleasure upon the hall table where one has placed the bowl of what's currently blooming. |

Mind and the World Order
Lewis (1929), Mind and the World Order, is now seen as one of the most important 20th century works in epistemology.【{劉易斯文選}李園山編，北京：社會科學文獻出版社，2007。此書選譯第1-3章和第8章】
這本書 Deming 在 Out of the Crisis 有四處提到它：兩次指定參考第6-9章；另外兩處直接引文，意思類似下文：
An operational account of concepts mainly eliminates the ineffable: "If your hours are felt as twice as long as mine, your pounds twice as heavy, that makes no difference, which can be tested, in our assignment of physical properties to things." Hence a concept is but a relational pattern. But it does not follow that one ought to discard the world as it is experienced:
"In one sense, that of connotation, a concept strictly comprises nothing but an abstract configuration of relations. In another sense, its denotation or empirical application, this meaning is vested in a process which characteristically begins with something given and ends with something done in the operation which translates a presented datum into an instrument of prediction and control."

The Throne is a magnificent work of religious art. It consists of around 180 pieces. The many winged figures give a sense of exaltation. This photo can only suggest the impact of the original. Remarkably, this work of art was built, as the essay below by Mike Walsh notes, "from a very select collection of junk, including old furniture, burned-out light bulbs, jelly jars, carpet cylinders, desk blotters, cardboard, and foil. All the separate pieces are precariously held together with glue, tape, tacks, and pins." And it was built by an even more remarkable man.
