A round-up of other items

A bunch of updates and items that might be of interest (I'm a bit short of time today):

• More testimony in the Intelligent Design case in Dover (see prev. here): the theory is "untestable by scientific means."
  
  
• A look at the current head of the Fairmont Parks Commission, whose job (and commission) might be eliminated under legislation recently introduced (see here). He's trying to do a lot with few resources.
  
  
• In New Jersey's hot race for Governor (only a few weeks away), Doug Forrester (R) has closed much of the gap with his opponent Jon Corzine (D). The news has sparked a shift to negative ads by both campaigns.
