canadian kids get 'masoni-chipped' while visiting with santa
from woodstock sentinel: The event also served as a chance for parents to have their children documented by the MasoniCHIP program. Masons and volunteers from across Oxford were on hand to help make identification kits for local children. The MasoniCHIP program provides parents with their child's dental imprints, fingerprints, still photos and a short video. "It's a child identification program," explained Tyler Deheer of Princeton's Blenheim 108 Masonic Lodge, one of the organizers of Saturday's program. All the equipment needed to make an identification profile of a child was contained in a single briefcase, including a laptop computer, a webcam, a microphone and a fingerprint scanner. "The parents keep all the information. It comes on a CD and a piece of paper. It puts everything in a neat package," Deheer said, adding that the material could be given to police in the event the child goes missing. "It holds just about anything you could use to identify a child." The program originated in the United States and Masons in Ontario have taken the lead role in implementing the program in this province.

from washington post: Let us pause. And in deference to a man who knew precisely how to wring meaning from silence, stop just a little longer. Harold Pinter, prospector of 24-karat drama in the tension-racked spaces between words, died in London on Wednesday, at age 78. With his death, the pool of contemporary playwrights of international literary stature has been all but drained dry.
