A sign of these hard economic times: Two live auctions of fine art were scheduled on the same Saturday in early December, one at Place des Arts and the other at a gallery in Plateau Mont Royal, but despite crowds numbering in the hundreds, both were cancelled at the last minute.

The reason? It wasn’t a lack of interest in the art. There simply weren’t enough people willing to open their wallets wide enough to make the auctions profitable. They wouldn’t...

In the past few days, Verizon and GoDaddy.com have both reversed courses, pushed to change policies and proclamations by a groundswell of customer dissatisfaction. After thousands of customers switched away from GoDaddy.com domains, prompted to do so by a social media campaign headed by Reddit users, the company reversed its approval of the SOPA Internet-censorship bill. Verizon’s ill-conceived $2 fee for one-time online payments couldn’t even survive 24 hours, immediately targeted by vocal web users. Both companies are just the latest examples of an age-old expression given a modern twist: The active social media customer is always right.

It started last year, when Gap proposed...

PHILOSOPHY: MARY MORRISSYreviews
The Happy Life: The Search for Contentment in the Modern WorldBy David Malouf Chatto Windus, 106pp. 10

BLAME JEFFERSON. Thomas Jefferson, that is, who on a hot summers day in June 1776, penned the Declaration of American Independence and elevated happiness to an unalienable right along with life and liberty. Or rather, the pursuit of happiness not quite the same thing: but the end result, whether Jefferson intended it or not, is a notion that has persisted tenaciously in western industrialised society. That ordinary everyday happiness is somehow guaranteed to all of us, and we feel cheated if we dont get it.

So says David Malouf, Australian...

SIMSBURY Their devotion is unconditional and their contribution invaluable.

Thats why Simsbury Animal Control Officer Mark Rudewicz is collecting items to send military bomb dogs, who search out improvised explosive devices in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

I am always moved when I think, these dogs have probably saved countless American lives, Rudewicz said.

This is the second year Rudewicz has held the collection drive and decided to open it up to public participation after receiving such an overwhelmingly positive response from his colleagues at the Simsbury Police Department and other town employees last year. Rudewicz said he appreciates his superiors at the simsbury...
