2 MCA state reps to resign
SEREMBAN: Two state MCA leaders yesterday announced that they would not be defending their seats in the coming general election. The duo, Temiang assemblyman Datuk Lee Yuen Fong and Repah assemblymen Datuk Gary Gan Chin Yap, would make way for new blood.
The tricky part for Lee's decision is that his son Jason must be named the new candidate for Temiang.
According to MCA insiders, Lee and his son met party president Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting on Sunday and it had been agreed that Jason be named the candidate.
Lee, known as Tiger Lee, decided to step down after having been in politics since 1982. He was a DAP assemblyman before joining the MCA in 1997.
"I am stepping down to make way for new blood. I will support any candidate named by the party president to contest," he said, not wanting to discuss about his son.
Look homeward, Gen X
Many are first-time home buyers who don't have a home to sell; others may already own property but are planning on keeping it as an investment. It's a generation that knows what it wants." And Gen Y is right on their heels. The Massachusetts real estate organization's recently published profile of the 2007 sales year showed the median age of home buyers to be 39 years old. But of first-time home buyers, nearly half - 49 percent - were between the ages of 25 and 34. And it appears that Gen Yers - loosely, those born during the last two decades of the 20th century - are taking a cue from their predecessors and becoming homeowners at even younger ages. In fact, Gen Yers may be buying the old lofts and converted condos Gen Xers are selling as they decamp to the suburbs, said Kathy Sheehan, senior vice president for GfK Roper Reports, a consumer survey company in New York.

Taunton readies for Hollywood invasion
Filming of Martin Scorcese's feature "Ashecliffe" is set to begin this week at Whittenton Mills, but it's unlikely that city residents will be able to get an in-person sneak preview of the action. "It's a closed set, per the direction of Martin Scorcese," Mayor Charles Crowley said. The mayor has a meeting scheduled this afternoon with the Oscar-winning director's publicist and will discuss the possibility of making the set a bit more open. He said he would like to work out an arrangement to allow students in audio-visual classes at Taunton High School to be on set to see how the pros do it. Based on Dennis Lehane's novel, "Shutter Island," the film will feature a number of Hollywood stars, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Kingsley, Mark Ruffalo and Michelle Williams.

Also, it said, some currently popular fashions "can more readily fit a pregnant woman early in her pregnancy" than could previously popular styles. Rebecca Matthias, president of the chain, said the popularity of these pregnancy-friendly fashions was diminishing and would be less of a negative factor "as we move into the spring selling season." The chain's brands include Motherhood Maternity, A Pea in the Pod, Mimi Maternity and Destination Maternity. Bon-Ton Stores, of York, said same-store sales at its Bon-Ton and Carson's stores were off 1.3 percent during the four weeks ended Feb. 2, compared with the same period a year ago. Tony Buccina, vice chairman and president, said that customers had responded favorably to spring merchandise in late January and that the chain's inventories were down 4 percent on a comparable-store basis.

Rethinking Tenure — and Much More
Young scholars need to publish books to get jobs and tenure. University presses can’t afford to publish books any more and are raising the bar for publication. Libraries don’t have money to buy the books the presses do publish, forcing the presses to make more cuts, making it still more difficult for young scholars to win tenure. While the MLA task force found plenty of problems in the system, one thing it did not find was the feared "lost generation" of scholars who had been denied tenure. The association conducted a survey of 1,339 departments on their tenure policies and processes. A key finding was that the actual rates of tenure denials in these departments are quite low — around 10 percent. But while junior professors in English and foreign languages were apparently incorrect in thinking that many were being rejected for tenure, they weren’t incorrect that the rules and system had changed.
