by Correa for $10m in "moral damages" for suggesting the president knew his brother was making millions of dollars from state contracts. After a public outcry, the president withdrew one suit and issued a pardon in the other, but he defended his right to take such action: "Do we have an unwritten law that we can't sue a journalist? Since when? So nobody should sue Murdoch and his partners in crime in Britain?" The editorial director of Vanguardia, Juan Carlos Caldern, had earlier told the Guardian he was being targeted for criticising the administration, and accused Correa of double standards. "The government said it has granted asylum to Assange because he is politically persecuted for defending freedom of expression. But the same thing happens to us," he said. "This is not a country with the free press described by Correa." He is not alone. The domestic press watchdog Fundamedios describes the situation in Ecuador as a low-intensity war on journalists that appears to be escalating. Last year, it recorded 151 cases of physical aggression against reporters, up from 101 in 2009. It says this increase is largely the result of the constant abuse directed at journalists by Correa during his weekly TV broadcast, which is carried by almost every channel. It also notes that 17 radio stations have been shut down this year for transgressing regulations and that the government has recently issued new rules that will oblige internet service providers to provide the IP addresses of their users to | NARRATIVE | NA NE | 103,618 |
We are in the middle of it. One day we have got these incredible breakthroughs -- like the young people in Egypt and Tunisia -- and that is obviously a great positive. On the other hand, we have governments and corporations spending billions of dollars to control all of this. The Chinese government has been amazingly successful at shutting stuff down. And business has been working furiously to commercialize all of this -- turning it into just another way to sell beer, or to sell ideas. We really do not know what the end-game will be. The arguments that are really prescient -- Harold Innis' and McLuhan's -- show that all of this has been coming for over half a century. We have known for some time that this is going to change the way that people communicate; however, we do not actually know at this point what the effect will be. It may be as simple as this: that people will feel that they are at sea, and that they therefore have to go into rooms to be together, and to have people give old-fashioned speeches.

about a lot of things, particularly the environment, and I spoke to Margaret at length in the lead-up to this Archibald and said "if I do win I want to talk about the environment and the fact there are people who still deny humans have anything to do with it". She said "Ben, I agree, it's ridiculous. I wouldn't even address it because they don't deserve the time". But I said to her, it's like denying Aboriginal people the vote. That's how it will be seen in years to come. Like the flat-earthers. Exactly the same. It's bizarre that I'm living here now and seeing it happen, and I just want to muzzle them and say "you guys are doing intense damage to my grandchildren's lives and it's time you stopped." Did you do this painting at Margaret's house? No, I actually made a steel-plate etching of Margaret. The marks that are on her face that are contained inside that shape, I actually did a hard-ground etching with a scribe and I just put in these little tiny marks and I wanted to leave her face blank. In fact, my idea was to leave even less marks on her face, the purest couple of little marks just to define her face. It's hard for me to stop. The plate did that really. I also took photos and did some drawings. But scribing those marks, particularly that left eye, it's Margaret. When I looked at it I thought , "I've drawn | SP | SP IT | 3,310,619 |

interested in looking through some case histories and, of course, we at Cosmic Conspiracies will keep you updated on developments that come to light. Who Are The Men In Black? There are three main theories which attempt to explain who, or what, the MEN IN BLACK are. The first suggests that the MIB are in the employ of a secretive government agency, or an unknown branch of the CIA or Ministry of Defence. This is a theory favoured by those who are fond of conspiracies and assume that the governments are aware of the existence of UFOs. Another argument suggests that the MIB are a figment of the witness' imagination or a hallucination. However , although there are many cases of MIB sightings appearing to a lone witness, there are many well documented cases from multiple witnesses. It is highly unlikely that all of these individuals suffered from some form of mass hallucination. The final theory suggests that the Men In Black are of an extraterrestrial origin and that they are 'androids' sent to silence UFO witnesses. This wild suggestion is certainly substantiated by witness' accounts of the Men In Blacks androidian behaviour. If you'd recall, in the movie 'Men In Black', these gentlemen are portrayed as serious-looking agents, garbed in black suits, and generally poised the way the Secret Service and even bodyguards in texas hold em casinos are.

Secondly, this approach would have meant that we needed to reintroduce the concept of impairment for equity investments. Problems with recycling and impairment accounting under IAS 39 were the catalyst for the IASB's overhauling accounting for financial instruments on an expedited basis. Fourth, the ECB and the Basel Committee have called for further guidance for our reclassification requirement. In response, the IASB will monitor the need for further guidance supporting the reclassification requirement. Finally, we appreciate the concern of this Council and other stakeholders internationally that we and the FASB may arrive at different conclusions when financial instruments should be measured at fair value. Both the FASB and the IASB have agreed common principles to help us to achieve a common standard. That is our objective. At the same time, the IASB is conscious of the strongly held view of investors and other stakeholders internationally that a combination of cost-based and fair-value accounting remains appropriate for financial instruments. Next steps on financial instruments reform The publication of IFRS 9 marked the completion of the first phase of our IAS 39 reform.

hungry is not evidence that he is thinking to himself about something. He instinctively knows when he is hungry, as do you and I. If he is laying down starring at the wall, then suddenly gets up and goes to his bowl, that doesn't necessarily mean he's been thinking about food. He may well have just got hungry. His instincts tell him that he should go and stand by his bowl and instincts are very different to conscious thought. Any evidence, which suggests that monkeys really do have conscious thoughts, has profound implications on how we view ourselves. The fact that some people may well argue that they have always believed it is true, is irrelevant. Scientific research helps paint a picture that we can all believe, beyond reasonable doubt. There is of course a cruel irony with regards to this research however. In confirming a monkey's conscious thoughts, we may well be confirming that a monkey's despair due to the experimentation and captivity. Comment number 77.

As the tenth anniversary of 9/11 passes and our society continues to be marked by these malicious acts of terrorism, Steve Reich has composed one of his greatest works to date. It is a tale of protest, frustration and artistic mastery. It's 2006. 290 million Americans have access to a broadband connection. Almost five years since 2,752 deaths were reported following attacks on America, her citizens are still looking for answers. Websites, blogs, forums and comment boards are flooded with theories on what REALLY happened and who perpetrated these horrendous crimes. The Internet is rife with rumour, and with an ongoing war in the Middle East, people wanted answers. They called for their government to offer transparency. Under political pressure, NORAD (the North American Aerospace Defense Command), a Cold War -- era military organisation charged with protecting North American airspace, releases thirty hours of recordings taken the morning of 11th September 2001. Against this backdrop, Steve Reich is at home in Vermont composing. Having just turned seventy he's in the middle of a busy year, working on 'Daniel Variations' - a project in memory of Daniel Pearl, a Wall Street Journal reporter who was kidnapped and murdered whilst investigating al-Qaeda links with Pakistani Intelligence. For the time being, 'Phases: A Nonesuch Retrospective' is released, comprised of classic recordings of Reich's music. Equally there are festivals across the globe celebrating his milestone anniversary, notably at London's Barbican where 'Daniel Variations' is premiered.

The class variable property (ActiveFile) is used to determine when a file has been opened, so when the user wants to use the Save function, we will know whether to save to an existing file or not. The TextBox_KeyDown subroutine is to determine when the Tab key is pressed. If it is, we want to add a tab within the RichEditBox as if the user did it. By default, focus is moved from the RichEditBox to the next object in the application. The e.Handled line is to tell Windows 8 we have dealt with the event and any default action should not be executed. The third line within the If statement is to get the text in the RichEditBox that is currently selected (hence, Selecction.GetText()) and put it in the SelectionText variable. Then, on the last line within the If statement, add a tab character (vbTab does this) and the SelectionText afterwards. The OpenButton_Click subroutine is invoked when the "Open" button is clicked. As you can see, the If statement is used to check whether the application view state is currently set to "snapped". If you recall, the reason I have this check in place is because an open file dialogue will be displayed, and it cannot be displayed while the application is snapped. It either needs to be filled (2/3) or full screen. If the Unsnap is unsuccessful, we exit the subroutine; otherwise, we execute the ShowOpenFilePicker() method.

Of the Anti-Christ identified with the Pope, whose title Vicarius Filii Dei, Vicar of the Son of God, apparently had a numerical value of 666. I mention Hiram Edson's morning after master stroke to illustrate the adaptability and resilience of end-time thought. For centuries now, it has regarded the end as soon, if not next week then within a year or two. The end has not come and yet no-one is discomforted for long. New prophets and soon a new generation set about the calculations and always manage to find the end looming within their own lifetime. The million sellers, like Hal Lindsey, predicted the end of the world all through the 70s, 80s and 90s and today business has never been better. There is a hunger for this news and perhaps we glimpse here something in our nature, something of our deeply held notions of time and of our own insignificance against the intimidating vastness of eternity or the age of the universe, on the human scale there is very little difference.

This is an edited extract of a speech given yesterday by Mark Scott at the book launch of Australian Journalism Today. Since I accepted Matthew Ricketson's kind invitation to launch this book on this date, three things have happened. That's not to say I wouldn't have accepted the invitation had I anticipated these things Matthew, but perhaps I would have asked for danger money. Firstly, it appears that virtually every author of a chapter in this book has been attacked in one way or another in recent weeks by The Australian. Secondly, the ABC itself has suffered a further tickle up from Rupert Murdoch's broadsheet, accused of being an epicentre of groupthink. And finally, we are in the midst of unprecedented speculation about the nature of job cuts and restructuring set to descend on both News Limited and Fairfax, our largest and most significant newspaper organisations. Now, before making any comments on any of these matters, in the interests of full and open disclosure, I would like to make the following declarations: I have spoken to Margaret Simons on occasion in the past. I declare I have read her writings on the media. I further declare I have not read nor followed her writings on gardening, as the state of my backyard attests. Furthermore, I declare that Matthew Ricketson is taller than me.

the birds and the surface would allow energy losses through turbulence and heat to reduce the force sufficiently to save the bridge. I believe that actually when a birds wings are on the upstroke, they are still generating lift, due to some clever aerodynamics, so, even on the upstroke, there will be a net force on the surface beneath the pigeon. This reminds me of a similar problem which I heard - a man wants to carry two gold bricks across a flimsy rope bridge. The bridge is only strong enough to support the weight of himself plus one gold brick. I was told that there was ingeneous way he could manage this in one trip, and having thought about it for a long time, I felt certain that it couldn't be done. I was horrified the learn that the supposed solution was to juggle the bricks whilst walking across the bridge, because this would be even more dangerous than simply carrying both bricks across. Here's why - according to newton's third law of motion, whenever anything exerts a force on an object, that object exerts an equal force back on whatever is exerting that force. Now, consider what this means when the man is standing on the bridge with both bricks, throwing one into the air. In order to do that, the man must exert an upward force on the brick greater than the weight of the brick. By newton's third law, as this happens, the brick exerts a | ID | ID | 1,467,594 |

Liberal party veteran election signs are misleading View more by Editorial When it comes to running an election campaign, there can be no such thing as too much thought, careful strategic planning and door-knocking. Name recognition, listening to voters' concerns and communicating the party platform are key components in a bid for a successful run at the polls. But the way in which a candidate chooses to convey a message can backfire if enough remains unsaid, and that appears to be the case in the current Durham riding byelection for Liberal candidate Grant Humes, whose campaign signs are a little too bereft of information. Anyone spotting the signs could be forgiven for assuming Canada's war veterans have collectively endorsed the Liberal party. The sign, sporting a Liberal logo, the slogan 'Support Our Veterans' and the website www.durham4vets.org, does not contain Mr. Humes's name, and certainly doesn't make it clear that the candidate has embraced the cause of the veterans, instead of the other way around. | ID | ID DF | 3,749,345 |

However, that is to deny the long and deep association between a folk festival (that is, a festival of ordinary working people, not some twee middle-class usurpation) and their political aspirations. To deny that link is to deny centuries of popular and anarchist revolt against the tyranny of both the status quo and those who would order the lives of ordinary people according to whatever political ideology they hold sacred. I never knew that. have to say after reading more and more about how the so called hero's of the Russian revolution behaved (Lenin Trotsky) I am so glad I am anarchist. This May day I will be mainly gardening :) May Day is a pagan festival originally. It's a celebration of the coming summer. It's a workers holiday. It's as much about May Poles and folk dancing as it is about Ice cream and football. The political element when there was one was merely about opportunity to congregate. A bit like Friday prayers in Islamic countries. The prayers aren't the issue it's just that you can't stop people all going to the mosque at the same time and therefore being mob handed when prayers are over. That's the political connection with May Day. It would be | NARRATIVE | NA NE | 403,535 |
sustainability (often conceptualized as intergenerational equity) with social justice (sometimes conceptualized as intrageneral equity). In the first term, we will jointly examine selected literature on sustainability and various forms of social inequality, including sexism, racism, heterosexism, social class, and others. In the second term, students will engage in individual projects, relating one aspect of either sustainability or inequality to the framework that has been elaborated in the first term. The second purpose is to engage students in a publication project. The intent is to produce a joint book out of the course at the end. While publication of either a book or any individual paper cannot be guaranteed, students will nevertheless participate in the process of preparing a publication, from writing a prospectus to looking for a publication outlet, receiving and giving editorial criticism, etc. SES3999 H Special Topics in Advanced Sociological Research in Education: Advanced Studies in Dis/ability: Transgressive Bodies/Transgressive Methods This course draws its inspiration from burgeoning scholarly work in the New Disability Studies in the Humanities. Its purpose is to open physical, mental and emotional variation/s to wide-ranging critical enquiry. Thus, we will challenge the ways in which transgressive "bodies" have been dominated by professional expertise, specifically by practices of medicalization. We will redefine dis/ability through the knowledge/s arising from direct experience and the actions of disability (social) movements. Particular attention will be given to discovering, exploring and/or creating "transgressive" methods of research and writing that will facilitate this orientation.

I think often that is the case as women reach their sexual peak later and we begin to experiment with new ways of deriving pleasure or we are in long-term relationships and want to rekindle or bring new excitement to the relationship.

Try this boxing routine for strong arms that look darn good in a sleeveless dress too. The train like a boxer workout How it works: Do each set of moves back to back without rest, and then take a 60-second break before going into repeating all the moves again ('round 2'). Work your way up to three rounds total. To do : Stand with your left foot forward, arms 'on guard' (hands in fists, elbows bent in close to your body, fists to the outsides of your cheeks). JAB Throw a 'jab' with your left arm by punching straight front, palm facing down, elbow out to the side (without locking the joint), then quickly return your arm back to your on-guard position. Keep your knees soft as you punch. CROSS Next, do a 'cross' punch with your right arm: Rotate your right hip forward and lift just your right heel off the ground, punching your right arm straight front, rotating fist palm down, bringing elbow out to the side (without locking the joint).

However, the difference between currencies and actual commodities is that the former are much more manipulatable than the latter. The US can print $2 trillion more by fiat ... it cannot create 2 million tons of gold out of thin air. That's why backing currency with a tangible substance (gold, silver, platinum, whatever) is a powerful concept ... it forces nations to live within their means. Now, for most of the history of the US, we were a gold nation ... that's how the faith in $$ that we've enjoyed was built. Over the past 30+ years since Nixon fully began the fiat $$ era, we've lived off past glories. This can (and indeed must) end and the world must move on.

that you really start to re-create landscape: to produce crops on a mass scale; and to eliminate all other species (which increases reliance on farming still further). Ploughing (or soil-breaking in general) leads in short to arable farming, which primarily means mass growing of cereals. The Old Testament shows how people hated this (arable farmers have an extremely bad press in the OT) and indeed regarded the breaking of soil as blasphemous. Cain was the arable farmer ? perceived as the murderer (of the pastoral Abel) whose gift of corn was rejected by God. The "Neolithic Revolution " is not about the origin of farming; but it does reflect the birth of arable farming (ie, agriculture in the strict etymological sense). Ploughing has given us a world population of 6 billion, and transformed the world's landscape. The plough is the most significant human invention of all.

For one thing, I don't know if it really refers to an invention of the last two thousand years.

Therefore, we need to carefully choose whose viewpoint to use so we can get the greatest power from each scene. Even within third person omniscient, we should have only one viewpoint character at a time, only one character whose thoughts and mind we visit. We have the option to change viewpoint characters, but we must do it carefully, preferably at a scene or chapter break. However, if we must switch "heads" within a scene, we should clue the reader to what we are doing and allow for a transition. I prefer to do this by ignoring the previous viewpoint character for a sentence or two, then have the new viewpoint character touch his face -- rub his forehead, scratch his ear, any action as long as it involves his face or head -- to clue the reader that this is our new "head."

Everyone feels angry at times, but it's important to know how to express your feelings in a healthy way without lashing out, shouting or becoming violent. The key is to learn how to react calmly when something causes you to feel angry. About anger Anger is a natural feeling, experienced when you feel frustrated, hurt, rejected or hostile. It's a powerful emotion, and unless it's managed properly, it can have a devastating effect on your family, your work and your overall wellbeing. Causes Anger can be caused by the way we react to things such as other people or situations, or by worrying about personal or financial problems. Unsettling memories from the past can also lead to angry thoughts and feelings. It's important to understand that it's not people or events that make you angry, but your reaction to them.

Being in a company that has grown from a few people in my basement, to a facility with considerably more people has had its challenges. It's more important to be making the right decision, and you can still be creative and you can still have fun but you have to be a little more constrained, careful, and better. Obviously technology is constantly changing, and I think the audio industry used to be further behind the curve as far as how it used technology and I think it's not as far behind the curve now, so I think we're all going to have to be developing faster.

of causation (ever since Hume), according to which causation involves uniformity or necessary connection according to law. In the next section I will show that Isaac Newton defended a view that, though similar qua basic insights, was even more radical than Locke's. Whereas it was Locke's view that the idea of causation does not involve the idea of necessary connection according to law, Newton took the far more radical step of separating causation from law-like behavior. 3.2.2. Newton: rejection of the principle of causality In his masterpiece, Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica , Newton (1642-1727) set forth the mathematical laws of physics and "the system of the world." The world system consists of material bodies (masses com-posed of "solid, massy, hard, impenetrable, moveable particles") at rest or in motion and interacting according to his three famous laws of motion, which are stated in implicitly causal terms: (1) Every body perseveres in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a right line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed thereon. (2) The alteration of motion is ever proportional to the motive force impressed; and is made in the direction of the right line in which that force is impressed. [8] (3) To every Action there is always opposed an equal Reaction; or the mutual actions of two bodies upon each other are always equal, and directed to contrary parts.

"reluctantly" excused! A footnote: As the selection process wore on, we were excused for lunch. This being a small town, we were told to just go to a local restaurant and buy lunch and the court would reimburse us. I asked the clerk if there was a limit on what I could spend and she said to just not go to anyplace real expensive, but never defined what "real expensive" was. So I went to a Big Boy and ordered a regular meal, which came to about $5 plus change. Apparently most of the other potential and already seated jurors went to a sandwich shop and got something for $2 to $3. When I handed the clerk the receipt she gulped and said, "I didn't tell you to get a full dinner", to which I replied, "I asked, and you didn't tell me what to get or how much to spend, you just said not to go anyplace real expensive, and Big Boy is not 'real expensive!'" They did reimburse me, but that happened over twenty years ago and I have never been called for jury duty since! One final point, for all the "civic duty" types -- did you realize that if the Constitution of the United States were read literally, forced jury duty would be illegal (as would military conscription)?

have usually played a central role in mediating power relations between dominant and subordinate groups. In recent years, theorists working within the framework of Critical Pedagogy have begun to describe how societal power relations are manifested in schools both through interpersonal interactions and the hidden curriculum. In particular, theory has focused on how language use and language learning interact with dimensions such as class, race, ethnicity, and gender in mediating power relations within the educational system. The course will focus on this body of theory and research and explore its applications to current educational issues related to minority students in both Canadian and international contexts. CTL3010 H Second-Language Learning This course examines theory and research in second language (L2) acquisition, including cognitive, linguistic, social, biological and affective variables that account for relative success in L2 learning. The role of instruction in L2 learning is also discussed. CTL3011 H Bilingual Education and Bilingualism This course examines bilingual education in its many forms. Particular emphasis will be placed on research questions and findings related to bilingual education in Canada - for English Canadians, French Canadians, immigrant populations, and Native peoples. Issues such as the effects of bilingualism on cognitive functioning, psycholinguistic abilities, and personality will also be explored.

We provide all the support in relation to travel bookings to support the Secretariat in their training, global and regional liaison activity and of course all the travel related to these types of meetings. If I look at the number of trips we are likely to do in 2011, I see that it's probably going to increase by around 70 per cent on the level of travel we were doing only a few years ago in 2008. Along with that increased activity comes increased costs. So that requires us to be very prudent in our management of our travel services, so we work very closely with our travel providers and the airlines to ensure that we are getting best value for our money.

It is most piquant that you suggest a Bill of Rights. You're forgetting the different historical basis of our constitution to that of the United States, and the guarantees of certain protections of trade (and working conditions, frequently in overtly racist terms) at Federation. Which virtually guaranteed a strong reliance of state institutions.

Resolved Question Alex Salmond appears to be at it again? I notice that Alex Salmond is at his old tricks again by whipping up this 'dead horse' called Scottish Independence. Now at one time I was all for Scottish independence if it was only to prevent the whining,moaning and groaning of those Scottish Nationalists. But recently I read an interesting article commissioned by the European Union whose author being none other than Mr. Angus Rattfrascher. Its contents made me think as it went like this. When the euphoria of independence has subsided and the realisation that the treasure chest gets less and less because of Whitehall sending less money north of the border cost savings in each department will have to be made. Mr. Rattfrascher went on. The very last Scottish Department to feel the cash constraints will be that of the Scottish Health Service. This will mean essential services such as maintaining life support machines,introduction of new drugs and introduction of new life support machines. Eventually Scottish inhabitants will have to cross over the border to seek medical attention in England. In the initial stages England will welcome the Scottish health refugees as it welcomed the Vietnamese boat people and the refugees from Hungary in the 1950 until they reached a certain number. Mr. Ratfrascher states that when that number reaches 5000 Scottish patients taking up beds in English hospitals compassion will be superseded by hostility.

society, and society demands of the individual an abnegation which the insect, in its auto- matism, carries to the point of an utter obliviousness of self. Reflexion cannot be relied upon to keep up this selflessness. Intelligence, except it be that of a suble utilitarian philosopher, would more likely counsel egoism. Thus, from two directions it called for a counterpoise. Or rather it was already provided with one, for nature, we repeat, does not make her creatures piecemeal; what is multiple in its manifestation may well be simple in its genesis. A new species coming on to the scene brings with it, in the indivisibility of the act creating it, all the elements that impart life to it. The very check of the creative impetus which has expressed itself in the creation of our species has provided, along with intelligence, within human intelligence, the myth-making function that contrives the pattern of religions. That then is the office, that is the significance of the religion we have called static or natural. Religion is that element which, in beings endowed with reason, is called upori to make good any deficiency of attach- , ment to life. It is true that the possibility of another solution at once occurs to the mind.

compound, so it becomes effectively meaningless to describe space as anything less than infinitely dimensional. At that point, what you have is volume, with lots of different points moving about and the concept which effectively describes that is temperature. The scalar level of activity within an area. The same logic which uses the speed of light to say time is an additional dimension of space, could use a given quantity of energy to say that temperature is another parameter of volume, since changing its volume would proportionally change the temperature. Another observation about space and energy is that energy is what exists, while space is what doesn't exist. Without the energy, it would be completely empty and featureless. It would have a temperature of absolute zero and time wouldn't exist. It is necessarily infinite, because any limiting factor would be a force of some kind. So space alone would be both absolute and infinite. The parameters of relative energy, without being parameters that can be defined by any physical means. Steve, Consider that motion creates and erases the series of events called time. The physical energy doesn't go anywhere. It simply is. It is the configurations of that energy which change.

If anything, after Tuesday, there is a very strong possibility Joe may have found his true calling..........as a lounge lizard late night stand-up comedian at some 2-bit club in Hoboken that is in desperate need of a visit from the Spike TV "Bar Rescue" gang. It doesn't matter if it's a "gaffe or a Freudian slip". I just know that calling Biden a lightweight is an insult to lightweights. Except for his propensity to spew quotable idiocies, he would go down in history as the most forgettable of all VP's. That in itself is quite an achievement. The key phrase that he slurred over is "I ain't been proud". A couple of people I know (including one, sadly, in my family tree) slur over the phrase "I ain't been" in the same way, so it's relatively easy for me to recognize when someone is doing that.

Similarly, they say if the world has been desiged why tsunamies; why cancer; why pain and suffering. But, what is, let's say cancer, but malfunctioning of the cells of the tissues which is caused by being exposed to a particular environment. If you have fair skin and exposed to intensive sun light you have more chance getting cancer than let's say a dark skin one. In another word, if a fair skin person, when exposed to such sun light, did not have developed cancer, it must have been considerred a sheer accident just as if a person plunges headlong into a bricked wall and cause it to fall. There are laws which can't be violated. This means the tsunamis, the deseases etc must point to, as the Quran says, there is a propotionality to everything in this world.

"Open letter to Vince Cable on tax avoidance" Might as well have sent an open letter to the man in the moon for all the good it will do. Vince Cable is currently a useful idiot for those who deign to rule. I take the view that all taxation is theft as none of it is voluntary so take ever possible step to avoid paying it. If those steps mean doing deals in cash then so be it. We've had years of increasing tax levels and the results are plain to see. Our cities are boarded up wastelands -- it is only the giant chains that survive. More leeches for the bleeding-to-death patient. If you are referring to Starbucks et al...... you should perhpas mention that this is EU policy, as part of the single market. Companies can choose to be taxed in whichever part of the EU they choose (as N. Farage says, 'we are all one country.....Europe, now') So this is not a 'loophole' that can be closed by HMRC. This is EU diktat.... and there aint nothing we can do about it. You should ask Dr North -- he knows about these things. I am amazed that those who have shown themselves to be the worst fidlers on the planet, who have rules to enable them to avoid tax in ways the ordinary citizen is denied, castigate organisations and private individuals for using perfectly lawful means of avoiding excessive taxes.

and mostly constructive contribution to the debate on population we are meant to be having. It focusses on infrastructure, however, while ignoring environment, and in the end takes a pro-growth position. Multiculturalism is not the issue, rather, it is the carrying capacity of the continent and how many people we can support at a reasonable (not excessive) standard of living without degrading the environment for other species now or for our own species in the future. Within the concept of carrying capacity, we have to consider our greenhouse gas emissions and the work by Bob Birrell at Monash shows conclusively that of the expected increase in emissions between 2000 and 2020, 83 per cent can be attributed to population growth. So how we ever achieve the miserable emissions targets we have promised, let alone those demanded by science, without keeping a lid on population growth, is beyond my comprehension. Add to all this the imminent rise in oil prices that will stymie further economic growth whether we like it or not, and we're going to have an awful lot of unemployed people on our hands, be they immigrants or native-born. Time to take a deep breath and make significant cuts to skilled immigration (not the humanitarian program) and keep it to those skills that we simply cannot function without, while we ramp up our in-house training to provide all the skills we need.

Carl, I've been following your website for a while, and your approach with knitr was one of the inspirations for my question. I've also been following dexy for a while because Zed Shaw uses it to build the source for his book How To Learn Python the Hard Way (see the git repo ??). What I like about dexy as opposed to other literate programming approaches is that code and text are loosely coupled, enabling sane use of a debugger. -- Geoff Oxberry ? Jun 20 at 20:22 Geoff, cool, thanks for the comments! Anna Nelson is a big believer in decoupling too. R users can accomplish the decoupling in knitr with code externalization , or the new spin() function. Personally I think Greg Wilson's complaints about literate programming are pretty dated though. I had the same terrible experience he describes with noweb, but that convoluted debugging just doesn't exist in the modern tools. For literate C I use doxygen. Knitr is if anything easier to debug than R thanks to caching and environment handling. -- cboettig Jun 20 at 22:04 Emacs's orgmode in combination with Babel achieves that.

current situation in the web design industry? If you are trying to make it better then the article should be there to prove that there is no sexism, rather than highlight that there is and then create some yourself by only interviewing females, and then focusing on things only females should know. How are you going to help the problem by only focusing on what you claim is the minority? Surely by doing this you are putting yourselves in the minority of your own accord? This isn't a personal attack on the writer nor the designers "showcased" but on the situation in general. Showcase away, get these people out there but for the right reasons. Do it because they are good at what they do, they have some good experiences to share. It wouldn't have mattered if they were all female if you didn't push the point you were interviewing females because there is sexism in the industry. If hope this has cleared up for some people what the argument was about and why people are so passionate about it. Maybe a new article show casing some well known and not so well known men would be a good next step. Just make sure you don't ask them if they have "Ever Experienced Any Negativity or Sexism Being in This Industry?". For God's sake, its just an interview!

the mindset than I guess I realized before. I've always been for freedom of speech even if it's about views I do not hold. But, yes, I did sometimes feel bad about people being bashed for reaching for a dream- which is how I viewed some of the commentary. I'm not gonna lie to you. It did bother me. However, what bothers me more is seeing people leave a cult and trying to figure out their shit, ideologically speaking, only to have people checking up on them- yes, checking up on them- and telling them that if they don't say and believe certain things they can't be part of the group. And not just being banned- you could say "good riddance to bad rubbish" but there's also this control mindset and skulking around checking up on each other.

How many blogs do you read about people protesting about it? Clare is spot on in her response ("When the day comes...") indeed it's precisely this bit that so many of the self-appointed champions/pub bores of the "anti-PC brigade" point blank refuse to accept. Their aversion to accepting this boils down to a kind of childish envy of someone else's perceived victim status. (Something to bear in mind when you read Littlejohn sneering about this in next week's Daily Hate.) I'm not aware of any blonde people resigning from high office, being disowned by their families, getting beaten up and in some instances committing suicide because of their blonde hair. Is there a long history of racism against blonde-haired people? Do blonde-haired people suffer anything like the same severity of discrimination that black people do? Were blonde-haired people once regarded - and by many, still regarded - as inferior? Were they the victims of forced segregation? Do people cross the road when they see a blonde person approaching them? Is the victim of a racially-motivated attack more likely to be blonde-haired - or black?

is no expectation that any production of goods will take place in the US rather it will take place in China (subsitute Mich. for US and Tenn. for China for the auto industry) all the supporting building and services that support those employees have to either move (possible in the US, not with regards to China) to the new production location, or they have to be retrained and hired by someone else who can meet some new, undefined demand (see Google)." OK and agreed. "The cost of losing production facilities and the switching costs are expensive and depend on finding some new demand (assuming everything else is in equilibrium) or some people have to accept lower purchasing power." Agreed. But the benefit exceeds the cost, as we get to consume the same number of cars that now come from China, plus whatever goods and services the Americans who used to be producing cars can now produce.

is a form of insurance makes very little sense. Insurance is an arrangement that ensures some measure of compensation if adverse events occur. In more economic terms, it transfers income from states of the world where its marginal utility is low to states of the world where its marginal utility is high. But in this instance, the relevant adverse event is that attempts at global mitigation fail and we suffer the consequences of global warming. Were that scenario to eventuate, a unilateral carbon tax, far from making us better off when the harm occurs, would only mean we were poorer, and hence even less well-placed to adapt. To that extent, such a scheme comes closer to being anti-insurance -- reducing income (relative to the "in case of" scenario) in states of the world where its marginal utility is high. Alternative scenarios need modelling Weighing up all these issues would be easier if we had comprehensive modelling of their economic consequences. Treasury has modelled a scenario in which the rest of the world adopts such a scheme and we do too; and it also models the somewhat irrelevant case in which the rest of the world acts and we do not. But it has not modelled (or at least, not released) the most relevant scenario; the one in which we impose such a scheme and our major competitors do not. Moreover, Treasury's modelling is based on a range of assumptions that need to be tested -- for instance, that we will | IP | IP PA | 212,413 |

Taming The Monster-In-Law Monday, February 23, 2009 Pallavi Bhattacharya Indian mothers are renowned for the loving kindness. In fact, the mother figure is deified and worshipped as Ma Durga. So why does the same mother often act hostile to her daughter-in-law? Psychologist, Chrisann Almeida, in an interview with Pallavi Bhattacharya, explores the aspects that may give rise to an unhealthy saas-bahu relationship. There's no fixed formula for an ideal saas-bahu relationship. But there are things that the daughter-in-law, father-in-law and husband can do to turn even a difficult mother-in-law into an amicable one. After all, mothers-in-law are not necessarily monsters-in-law. It is often said that of all your in-laws the mother-in-law is the most difficult to win over/please. Why is this so? In most cases, the mother is always the primary caretaker of a son since he was a child, so it's the mother in the family who has the deepest emotional investment in her son. Hence it is the mother-in-law who is most likely to be mistrustful of her daughter-in-law as she is a new member she is entrusting the life of their son to. What are the most common problems one faces with the mother-in-law? Because of the level of emotional investment, a common problem is a sense of competition for attention and affection of the son. The other is power - control of decisions - since the mother once again was the main decision maker in the person's life before a spouse was added to the equation, | SP | SP IT | 1,758,466 |

Polished display toilets in every imaginable colour were stacked to the ceiling, as if in preparation for some fecal apocalypse.

stores and WalMart still exist, because people who can't buy $150 hats and lack the skills and time to make them themselves still need to have warm heads. It is a lovely hat, too. If it was purple, I might even spend $150 to own one -- but then, I'm extraordinarily lucky to have that kind of disposable income. Most of my dearest family and friends only wish they had $150 free to do with what they want. It goes to feed their kids, to pay their bills, and maybe a little extra to treat the family to pizza or a movie or something. It's not necessarily right, but it's reality. I'd love to see more emphasis on crafts and useful skills like knitting and crochet in schools -- the more we as community members work together to build the infrastructure needed to support our artisans, the less our artisans will have to struggle to create (and live well) off of their art. We (as in society as a whole, particularly North Americans) as terrible consumers have created all of these problems, and are the reason why there are people that can't afford $150 hats. We have this perception (partially due to massive marketing machines) that we all need the biggest, the best, and LOTS of it.

higher levels in their government are basically cutting them off until the investigation can be completed and they can ensure it's not going to continue to happen," he said. When they heard about the cut-off, marines responsible for training Afghan police units scrambled to fill the gap with Nato fuel. Officially they had stopped providing diesel months earlier, hoping to force the police to strengthen their own supply, but too much was at stake. "You can't just turn off fuel," said Lieutenant Shane Vickers, a logistics expert on the police training team in the district, who asked for a month's supply. "They can't go out on patrol if they don't have any fuel. They can't run their generators, they don't have power," he said. Both the provincial police chief and his top logistics officer confirmed that supplies to Helmand had been temporarily halted, although they denied corruption concerns played any role. Police chief Colonel Abdul Nabi Elham said the cut-off was due to teething problems with new Nato procedures for fuel truck drivers and a new system to calculate fuel allocations, both of which had been resolved. Logistics chief Colonel Torjan said fuel supplies had dried up two months ago and police had been buying diesel with government funds from ordinary gas stations. The stoppage was because Nato worried about the size of the bills. "There is a lot of spending on fuel, that's the reason," he told the Guardian .

eighteenth-century European marketplace for art. Coinciding with style's elevation from mere taxonomic concept into primary bearer of an artwork's meaning, this miscellaneous pluralism would pose a new set of problems or challenges for the modern artist, for whom the act of choosing a style would come to take on unprecedented weight. Schlegel's interesting is both an effect or byproduct of the rise of stylistic pluralism and an effort to solve the problem, through an explicit embrace of stylistic variation, eclecticism, and hybridity. Is there a similar historical narrative for curiosity? For a historical narrative about curiosity, I'd refer readers to Hans Blumenberg's The Legitimacy of the Modern Age , where he traces its significance as the "libido of theory." Curiosity seems to have been feminized in a way that interest has not -- on this see Laura Mulvey's Fetishism and Curiosity , which, if I recall correctly, reads curiosity as an antidote to fetishism. The interesting seems more explicitly comparative than curiosity. The fact that we find things interesting only when they seem to differ from others of their type , points to the fact that we live in a world understood as fundamentally taxonomized. This doesn't mean that it's a world devoid of wonder or surprise -- only one in which, as Mikhail Epstein notes, the unknown must be immediately related to what is already known. In fact, Epstein provocatively argues that the interesting is a way of explicitly using understanding to check wonder; or mitigating the "alterity of | SP | SP IT | 479,238 |
worth considering and well worth developing. Goddacre's sketch of how it might be developed provides a welcome and refreshing contribution to the discussion of the Synoptic Problem and Lukan editorial procedures." -- John S. Kloppenborg, Review of Biblical Literature, Oct. 2002 (John S. Kloppenborg ) "Although some may question his conclusions, the fact remains that Goodacre's work offers a fresh breath to Synoptic studies. His application of narrative critical methodologies and his interaction with modern cinematic views of Jesus provide an ample amount of interesting material to engage. While including some technical language, his book is still fairly easy to read and his arguments are logically presented. This book would offer great material for a seminar on Q and the Synoptic Problem, While serious students of the Synoptic Gospels will find this book both challenging and useful." -- Leo Percer, Review of Biblical Literature, Oct. 2002 (Leo Percer ) "...[Goodacre] hassucceeded in producing a wide-ranging, detailed and cogent argument for theomission of Q from synoptic studies. Despite the broad and complex argumentthat Goodacre embraces, the book is easily readable. Goodacre writes in a lucidand clear style that reduces some complex and innovative arguments to prosethat is easily understood. On a more minor point, it is encouraging thatGoodace retains the use of the original Greek (or Coptic in the case of Thomas)throughout the work.
