words on lips... I wrote recently about happiness at work . It's quite interesting as there seems to be a number of New Zealanders, or at least people using New Zealand based domains coming to these pages to investigate further. Apparently a number of New Zealanders are interested in happiness at work. We have heard a great deal about skill shortages -- 'desperate' -- is word used, and yet from my observation (as in, no quantifiable research, merely looking through the various sits vac options), skill shortage in the Wellington catchment seems restricted to words like 'Java Developer', 'Test Project Manager', and 'Contract'. Sure, these roles are well paid, but they're often short term contracts -- under a year. I do think a way to make a fortune in Wellington is to be able to communicate to both mortals and machines, particularly machines running databases. Most organisations I know or have heard of have dodgy data systems, and databases costing six figures. But what's this got to do with happiness? Today as I was taking my daily work I overheard people talking while waiting for the cross lights. They were commenting about how shattering they were finding their jobs. I'm putting words into their mouths, but the dialog went along the lines of 'I'm a capable, competent, well educated person. I've got 15 years experience in the workforce, I've got a degree. I'm well organised, I work well with others. I'm a good person. So how come I feel so | OP | OP OB | 3,784,107 |
request for a career break to look after her daughter, who is now 15, with which the Crown Prosecution Service agreed it would not proceed. The court heard the mother-of-two had also been granted time off from her role, for which she got a salary of up to 29,400, after claiming she had swine flu and other serious illness. Prosecutor Simon Batiste said Hewitt took "considerable periods off from work" and was put on a four-day week after claiming her daughter had the life-threatening illness, and pretending she had also developed other conditions during her treatment. "On May 1 2010, she indicated her daughter had been hospitalised with pneumonia and would undergo treatment on May 7," Mr Batiste said. "In fact, her daughter was competing that very day at the Port Royal Showground." Heidi Cotton, representing Hewitt, said the defendant accepted "deliberately fabricating evocative family problems", which was reflected in her plea. Jailing Hewitt, the judge said: "Your actions have undermined the trust the police officers place in each other and they will no doubt undermine, to some extent at least, the trust members of the public place in the police. "If a police officer has been seen to be telling a pack of lies, even if not directly to the public, that clearly undermines the faith the public have in the police. "Nobody thought for a moment somebody would lie about something so serious, so emotive as the health of their child. That's why you got away with it | OP | OP OB | 179,112 |
that are expressed in two different languages. In these conflict of laws cases, Apple met with conflicting international judicial opinions: an Australian court decision conflicted with a Canadian court decision on the copyrightability of object code. In IBM v. Computer Imports , the High Court of New Zealand then considered these prior decisions and sided with the Canadian decision in ruling that, although object code is not an original literary work in its own right, it is a reproduction of source code in material form and therefore an infringement of copyright takes place if it is copied without the authorization of the copyright owner. [ 144 ] Such legal conflicts affected not only Apple, but all other software companies as well, and the conflicts remained unresolved until the creation of an international legal regime embodied in further changes to national copyright laws, which ultimately made object code subject to copyright law. [ 146 ] These revisions of law in favor of making object code subject to copyright law are still controversial. [ 147 ] The revisions also form the technical underpinnings (via the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and the Electronic Communications Privacy Act ) [ 148 ] for the legal notions of electronic privacy violation [ 149 ] and computer trespass, as well as the further development of anti-hacking law-making such as the Patriot Act and the Convention on Cybercrime .

a great, vegan-friendly cafe called The Purple Carrot. The cafe doesn't have a website (something I consider a sin these days) and there is nothing vegan on the menu. So why am I reviewing this cafe? Because they were super happy to accommodate vegans and they produced the most delicious quinoa salad with roasted macadamia nuts, beets, carrot and pumpkin/squash. The dish originally had cheese in it (goat's cheese, I think) but the dish really didn't need it and it was really filling and delicious. There were lots of vegetarian options on the menu (Geoff really enjoyed his although he can't actually remember what he ate!), the coffee was great (soya milk available, of course) and the service was lovely. It was also just an absolute pleasure to sit out in the sun and enjoy a delicious lunch with great company. If you have it then take the time to visit Bellingen and this yummy cafe!

Interpreters and Translators Interpreters and translators enable the cross-cultural communication necessary in today's society by converting one language into another. However, these language specialists do more than simply translate words-they relay concepts and ideas between languages. They must thoroughly understand the subject matter in which they work so that they are able to convert information from one language, known as the source language, into another, the target language. In addition, they must remain sensitive to the cultures associated with their languages of expertise. Interpreters and translators are often discussed together because they share some common traits. For example, both need a special ability, known as language combination. This enables them to be fluent in at least two languages-a native, or active, language and a secondary, or passive, language; a small number of interpreters and translators are fluent in two or more passive languages. Their active language is the one that they know best and into which they interpret or translate, and their passive language is one of which they have nearly perfect knowledge. Although some people do both, interpretation and translation are different professions. Each requires a distinct set of skills and aptitudes, and most people are better suited for one or the other. While interpreters often work into and from both languages, translators generally work only into their active language. Interpreters convert one spoken language into another-or, in the case of sign-language interpreters, between spoken communication and sign language. This requires interpreters to pay attention carefully, understand what is | IN | IN DT | 797,432 |
hardly the first to think that humans should sometimes "act only according to that maxim whereby you can, at the same time, will that it should become a universal law." I am hardly the first to recommend being the change you want to see. I can respect counterarguments, especially when advanced by utilitarians who have no deal-breakers of their own. But if you're a Democrat who has affirmed that you'd never vote for an opponent of gay equality, or a torturer, or someone caught using racial slurs, how can you vote for the guy who orders drone strikes that kill hundreds of innocents and terrorizes thousands more -- and who constantly hides the ugliest realities of his policy (while bragging about the terrorists it kills) so that Americans won't even have all the information sufficient to debate the matter for themselves? How can you vilify Romney as a heartless plutocrat unfit for the presidency, and then enthusiastically recommend a guy who held Bradley Manning in solitary and killed a 16-year-old American kid ? If you're a utilitarian who plans to vote for Obama, better to mournfully acknowledge that you regard him as the lesser of two evils, with all that phrase denotes. But I don't see many Obama supporters feeling as reluctant as the circumstances warrant.

About This Series Some video games take place in military bases, or even whole cities. But few immerse players in entire, fully realized fantasy worlds. The world of Skyrim represents new levels of immersion and realism, on a vast scale. The Elder Scrolls series of roleplaying games started in 1994 and with each iteration the fantasy settings got larger and more detailed. With the latest title, Skyrim , Bethesda Game Studios has created a more lush, natural world and a more intricate society for players to explore. The game's director, Todd Howard, tells Fast Company about the team's vision for the game's world, and some of the tiny details that players can discover while exploring it. Fast Company: When making the fifth game in a series, how do you keep it fresh? Todd Howard: We start over each time. We don't look at the previous game and say, "What can we add or change?" This series has been going on for a very long time and we give a lot of space between each entry. So we do benefit from the fact that the technology and the hardware we do each game on is very different. We start with what we want the player experience to be. We don't want to define our games by a list of specific features, but more on how the game should feel. And when we design worlds, the world to us is the main character. It's a game of exploration.

questions than had, until then, been investigated experimentally. In particular he was interested in the nature of apperception – the point at which a perception occupies the central focus of conscious awareness. In 1874 Wundt took up a professorship in Zürich , where he published his landmark textbook, Grundzüge der physiologischen Psychologie ( Principles of Physiological Psychology , 1874). Moving to a more prestigious professorship in Leipzig in 1875, Wundt founded a laboratory specifically dedicated to original research in experimental psychology in 1879, the first laboratory of its kind in the world. In 1883, he launched a journal in which to publish the results of his, and his students', research, Philosophische Studien ( Philosophical Studies ) (For more on Wundt, see, e.g., Bringmann & Tweney, 1980; Rieber & Robinson, 2001). Wundt attracted a large number of students not only from Germany, but also from abroad. Among his most influential American students were G. Stanley Hall (who had already obtained a PhD from Harvard under the supervision of William James ), James McKeen Cattell (who was Wundt's first assistant), and Frank Angell . The most influential British student was Edward Bradford Titchener (who later became professor at Cornell ). Experimental psychology laboratories were soon also established at Berlin by Carl Stumpf (1848–1936) and at Göttingen by Georg Elias Müller (1850–1934). Another major German experimental psychologist of the era, though he did not direct his own research institute, was Hermann Ebbinghaus (1850–1909).

We went to the Baptist Hospital together, and there were a couple of doctors there who actually intervened and they actually helped him tremendously, helped him to withdraw from some of the more addictive drugs. I stayed in the hospital with him. I had a hospital bed right next to him. He was in the hospital twice when I was with him. Larry King: Under different names? Linda Thompson: No. He was under his own name. He got calls from Frank Sinatra and President Nixon . He would have me go to the phone and say, 'is this really President Nixon?' Is this really Frank Sinatra? How do I know it's really you? Because he doesn't want to talk unless it's really you.

As a young man, you competed for both the NZ U21 and the Hawks (NZ's senior Aussie Rules side) and were offered a trial with the Sydney Swans before you committed your future to rugby union. Given the recent debate surrounding Sonny Bill Williams and his penchant for boxing, do you think it is best for aspiring rugby players to focus on the nuances of union alone or can the variety of other sports build a more 'well rounded' player? NE: I personally gained a lot from playing Aussie Rules, especially in the kicking department. I wouldn't advise young kids to go take up boxing as I don't see any cross over to rugby at all. But I do think young kids should try as many sports as they can, especially sports that require hand eye co-ordination. Whether it be football, league, cricket, tennis, squash...

Charlie Redmayne has been in the top job at Pottermore for a year now, casting numerous multimedia spells along the way to enchant its 40 million-strong fanbase. Leaving his role as HarperCollins' chief digital officer in November 2011 (Redmayne was brought in to spearhead the publisher's digital transformation), he has since led the Pottermore team in the creation of an online home for the seven Harry Potter books. That home now includes 18,000 words of additional content from J K Rowling, a direct-to-consumer shop that sells DRM-lite e-books compatible with any device in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish and Japanese and, of course, a sorting hat. "I don't think people always understand the scale of what we have done in the past 12 months. The level of work has been very intense," says Redmayne. "What we've done with Pottermore is harness a fanbase of millions of the biggest Harry Potter fans. In terms of producing value to all of the rights holders -- be it J K Rowling, Bloomsbury, Scholastic, Warner Bros, or indeed our sponsor Sony -- that's an immensely valuable thing as any new books, content or products come out. For any launch we have a direct relationship with those fans already, who we can then engage with."

the pounding riff of 'Floods New Light' crashes in. In amongst the almost surf like music, Beach Boys harmonies collide in what could almost be an out-take from one of the more calmer Ty Segall albums. Lyrically it's difficult to make out what they are singing about but then that doesn't matter as you are carried along with the sheer joy of it all. The music is spacious enough to let the different parts seep through and create a psychedelic stew which is never overbearing. Then you get to the title track. 'Putrifiers II' is almost epic in scope with its slow build up and as it develops it becomes the turning point of the album by giving it more range and proving that Thee Oh Sees aren't just about joyous anthems. Syd Barrett is to the fore once again and in all honesty, this song would fit in perfectly on 'Piper at the Gates of Dawn'. There are moments of unhinged madness on this album which are always going to keep Thee Oh Sees an underground concern but then they are hardly going to be bothered by that. As with all great music, conformity should be thrown out the window and the strangeness embraced.

Just ask yourself the same question in regards to whatever it is you like to do. Motivations can come from anywhere, regardless of if it's freeriding, rails, kickers, or any other aspect of any sport - wanting to do something you saw someone else do, wanting to be better than someone else, or wanting to be better than you already are.

Cab drivers all over the world hustle girls, boys, their sisters and whatever. But in this place I was put in touch with some old Arab guide who understood immediately what I wanted. Try thinking of another city where the cab driver would take you seriously if you told him you only wanted to meditate. Aspects of Femininity I like John Lilly a lot. He?s a really liberated guy.

so be sure to check with your states water website for deals and specials. Another great idea is to consider investing in newer water efficient appliances. Things like dishwashers and washing machines have come a long way in recent years, so if you are like me and running an early 90's washing machine -- perhaps the upfront investment of a new machine would repay itself within the year with the water savings? Electricity bills The key to saving money on electricity bills is better household planning. Look to ensure that all of your household lighting is using energy efficient light bulbs, you know the god ugly ones that take 5 minutes to warm up? Well those little bulbs can cut your lighting costs by over 50% over the course of a year. Another idea is to resist the use of lighting. How often do we put a light on when in the bathroom when really it isn't that dark? Look to change your habits and make it a game for the family -- who can avoid touching a light switch the longest? Also, when it comes to electricity, our heating and cooling of a house can quickly sky rocket the bill. Look to use fans and natural breezes in the summer, while insulating and wearing warmer clothes in winter to avoid the over usage of heating/cooling systems.

Ecstasy (E) / MDMA Ecstasy (E) can lead to emotional openness, euphoria, and an intense, energetic, spiritual high. It can connect people freely and openly with each other, promote deep inner thinking and analysis, or lead to a reduction in cynical or critical thoughts. The main risks with 'E' use are: Dehydration and overheating: The likelihood of this increases if you dance in a crowded, hot club or dance party. Difference in pills: The chemical that gives 'E' its good reputation is MDMA. Because 'E' is illegal, the production of 'E' is unregulated. This means there is no guarantee that what you buy is what you get: ecstasy is often cut with other substances, some of which can be very harmful. (See below for more on the differences between MDMA and 'E'.) Depression: Many users report feeling "down" for a couple of days after using 'E'. Jaw clenching: There is research to show that 'E' users have greater tooth wear than non-users, a product of jaw clenching while high or in the days after an 'E' trip. Water toxicity: You can have serious problems if you drink too much water and do not piss (or sweat if you dance). Drug Class: Entactogen. Individual drugs: MDMA, MDA, MDEA Common Terms: E, Ecstasy, Disco biscuits, MDMA, pills, X. Standard Dose: E is usually sold as a pill. These pills come in various sizes and colours, usually stamped with different logos. "Pure MDMA" usually come in a capsule as a white to off-white | IN | IN IB | 473,549 |
thousands of subscibers at The Little Report? At first glance it appears there's no way to discuss or debate the issues raised; hardly a means of upping the quality of things.

It allows letters to the editor which have been published. It is not a discussions board. Do you understand that? It is a business. Newspapers allow letters. They print some. Nothing new.

story on to probation. Instead of checking the details, his probation officer immediately told the police Mr Maude had breached his parole conditions. Police arrested him and sent him back to prison. When Mr Maude appeared at the recall hearing a month later, it was clear to the Board that the facilitators, the Probation Service and the police had all got it wrong -- and ordered Mr Maude to be released. Probation then tried to breach him for failing to complete the rehabilitation course (because he was in prison) and hauled him back into court. His probation officer received a serious reprimand from the judge for his treatment of Mr Maude and for wasting the court's time. Second recall When he got out, Maude went to live with a friend at an approved address. He had only been there about a month when his mother died after a long battle with cancer. But his probation officer didn't care. He was miffed at being told off by the judge and now had it in for Mr Maude. Shortly thereafter the police raided the house pretending they were looking for methamphetamine. Police found a cannabis plant growing in a wardrobe -- in the bedroom where his friend slept -- who was also the owner of the house. They arrested Mr Maude and sent him back to prison -- but didn't arrest his friend who owned the cannabis plant.

shows that Luke breaks up long discourse in Mark 4 which makes it understandable that he would break up Matt's sermon on the mount. Sermon on the mount is very Mathean, so it's reasonable to think Luke would alter it. Ch5 How narrative criticism could shed light on redaction criticism. Fitzmyer said, "Why would so literary an artist as Luke want to destroy the Matthean masterpiece of the Sermon on the Mount?" Goodacre replies, "It is the thesis of this chapter that it is precisely because Luke is 'so literary an artist' that he would have wanted creatively to rework the Sermon on the Mount." He points out that Luke's purpose was to write an orderly account, so Luke was able to take from Matt's long discourses and weave them into a more plausible historical biography. Ch6 How Jesus films can shed light on the synoptic problem--analogy of film makers working with their sources. JESUS OF NAZARETH has no Sermon the Mount, but distibutes the material. Film makers abreviate, omit, relocate, and redistrubute to add dramatic effect and biographical plausibility, especially with the Sermon on the Mount, yet they know Matt and aren't cranks for changing it. On the other hand, some of these reworkings were probably inspired by Luke's reworking. But that shows Matt's sermon is not superior to Luke since film makers choose Luke over Matt. Goodacre refutes the argument that Luke wouldn't have altered Matt's masterpeice unless he was a crank because Matt's version is superior to | IP | IP DS | 696,758 |

Police announced an arrest in sex assault cases in the Bloor St. West and Christie St. neighbourhood of Toronto. (Fred Lum /The Globe and Mail) Toronto school board trustees and high school principals are upset that they may lose a police-initiated program they say has been an immensely positive resource in their schools. Police Chief Bill Blair has proposed eliminating the School Resource Officer program if the force's budget is kept at the 2012 level. Union-negotiated pay increases means the force would have to lay off officers and take others away from schools for front-line duty.

be a failure. If my goal were to write a story about a character whom everyone likes, then of course I wouldn't be writing this. So it doesn't matter to me. It's OK to dislike Hu Yanjun and still to like this story. They're two different things. Your prose can often be quite spare, with few descriptive flourishes, and yet there's an underlying humour that can be explosively funny. Do you have a different goal to your reader's emotional responses when it comes to being funny? I like humour, particularly deadpan humour, what they call 'black humour' in literary studies. But it doesn't just come from translated literature: in the episodic novels of the Ming and Qing, you find traces of this sense of humour everywhere. Humour is not just an emotion, it's a worldview; an epistemology, perhaps. Understanding is a precondition for humour -- in Chinese, there's a saying: 'You smile when you see through someone.' Inflaming readers isn't a good thing; I want to entice them. It's when you understand something that doesn't exactly work logically. This is a 'broader', more spacious kind of understanding. Inflaming readers isn't a good thing; I want to entice them. The ideal is that I just do my own thing, write my own way, and other people are drawn in when they're drawn in.

It is available now for anyone who gives a gift of $20 or over. It really is great coffee... just ask anyone whose had it All you need to do is go to the pledge page and fill out the form . Check the box indicating that you want to have a pound of coffee. Be sure to include your address so I can know where to send it. If you live in the Greenville area, I may arrange to deliver it to you in person. I'm working on some other ideas to help make giving to the Ride for Mike a fun experience. It is a great encouragement with each gift that comes. I remember distinctly riding from Greenville to Charleston with the Beautiful Redhead giving me updates as hundreds of dollars rolled in. It seemed to make the bicycle roll that much better! Again, thank you to those of you who have made it possible for us to raise $700 to this point.

Having despatched letters for our friends by the Mexican courier to Vera Cruz, we took our departure from San Blas early on Sunday morning, 25th of March. Listening to the tramp and song of the sailors at the capstan and windlass, we caught the words? "The Oregons are a jolly crew, O, yes, O! A bully mate and captain, too, A hundred years ago." The second and last lines formed the chorus, and they roared it out right heartily, bringing many from below in time to behold the sun rise above the mountains of Mexico in great glory and magnificence,... I would think the windlass he is describing is the pump type. I must confess, however, that I'm not sure why there was capstan AND windlass. Are both there, for different tasks? Or does he just take them together as a phrase (cf. "ball and chain") because capstans do in fact engage a windlass below deck? (One would "tramp" round a capstan; not so a windlass.) The reason why I ask is in order to verify the type of action. John M: "The occasion is the hoisting of guns out of the hold to be mounted." The passage is from April 18th, 1842. The Rev.

appropriate body of selection, and ten Members of each House added by the Committee of Selection in each case, in respect of the Bill referred. The object of this free conference of 60 Members would be to adjust differences between the two Houses and report back. I am not here tonight to say that the free conference is the best method of settling differences between the two Houses. The point I want to make is that this is an alternative way. We have been given no indication that it has been considered, and we are given this Bill to deal with this very limited aspect of the reform of the Second Chamber. I have regretted for a long time that the House of Lords resisted the proposal of Lord Palmerston's first Administration to create life peers. I have regretted that the Labour Party in 1927, and again in 1933, as we were reminded yesterday in the speech of right hon. and learned Friend the Member for West Derby (Sir D.

Roofs were typically of tiles and were built in a curved shape. However even in a rich house there was little furniture but rich people were very fond of their gardens.

Eight are still in the race, although none of them can see each other, and another three are still going but awaiting assistance about 1,000 miles from land. Once the rescue boat reaches them they will be disqualified from the race because the rules allow no external assistance. Towards the rear is the rescue sailing yacht Aurora, which is towing one of the first boats to drop out because it is a source of spare parts, including oars. Diverted to St Martin in the Caribbean were the 23 year-olds Tom Fancett and Tom Sauer. Their 26ft (8m) boat was capsized by a huge wave, sinking on December 13. After a night in a liferaft, they found themselves in a stateroom of the 820ft Crystal Serenity cruise ship, the first vessel to reach them.

The time it might take to transfer to hospital is one factor to consider when planning a home birth, but it is not the only factor. People have home births in a variety of different accomodations - from tiny flats, short-term rented accomodation and friends' homes, to detatched houses. The most important factor is that it feels right to you. Nobody can deny you a home birth on the grounds that your home is 'unsuitable'. Sarah , for example, gave birth to her first baby on a narrowboat. The Albany midwife team had a home birth rate of around 40%, despite drawing most of its clientele from deprived estates in South London, where the flats are often cramped.

my compulsion to doing it again, even though I loved my wife. I'd say it's normal. I think the first trip around the calendar is the hardest because it's the "first" anniversary of anything associated with that date. The one year anniversary of D Day for us was a big deal, we turned it into a positive and productive day for us, but it was still very much a presence. The second anniversary of D Day we hardly noticed. We knew what day it was for sure, it just didn't matter much.

Also, just a head's up. The second year can be rough. It's the first year is just coming to terms at what happened and getting all the information. It's when "the plan" for recovery is made. Rollercoaster and dealing with the trauma. The second year is has a ton of reflection. Is the plan working? How do you feel? On top of that, you also start digging inwards...

As an Angel, he was the MVP of the Rally Monkey World Series in 2002. Last December he became Wren's greatest reach: A 33-year-old coming off shoulder surgery who was being asked to play first base, a position mostly foreign to him. So how did it feel, coming to a new city and playing on the other side of the diamond and hearing boos from the first week on? "It wasn't a whole lot of fun," Glaus said. "I thought I was having good at-bats -- obviously some bad ones, too -- but this is a result-oriented business. At some point you've got to say, 'I need to get a hit now.' " In April he couldn't buy a hit with American Express. In May he batted .330.

games, four is the magic number. The odds are long. They can't afford a single loss. Never surrender. Matt Kemp is back in control. Win out. Just win baby! When it comes to the Cards, hope is all we have. When it comes to the Dodgers, it's about converting hope into action, i.e., playing hard, playing confident, and taking the attitude that they will "never surrender". And if they acquit themselves well in these remaining four games, and perhaps end the regular season on a six game winning streak, then as far as I'm concerned, no matter what the outcome, they will end the season on a positive note, which they will then use to carry them into the playoffs, or, if the Cards win, will carry them into next season. In 1962 the Dodgers led the giants by 3 with 3 left to play. The Dodgers (try as they did) couldn't win one at home and the giants won all three. Did they chock or just get cold? Brooklyn led by 13 1/2 in mid August 1951 and couldn't hold on. They had a world of talent on that team...Did they choke or was it just Baseball?

Aw, you love the guy! Except when he drives you completely mental . Martha Beck shows you what to do with a significantly annoying significant other. Recently, I asked a group of ordinary American women to describe their significant others' most annoying characteristics. The responses were startling, not for their content but for the loathing I observed in these usually pleasant, well-adjusted people. If you want to see the red gleam of murder in someone's eyes, if you want chilling insight into the thinness and fragility of the civilized veneer that glosses over humanity's primal drives, don't read Greek tragedy or visit death row. Just listen to a few nice, normal folks talk about the way their spouses fake a Cockney accent, reuse unwashed underwear, or repeat every joke three times. Hating the Ones We Love As we pledge our undying devotion to our partners, it might be wise to acknowledge the flashes of vile, indefensible hatred we occasionally feel toward them. Acknowledging them while they're still small can help us deal with them responsibly. Denying their existence allows them to grow until they overwhelm our social niceties, turning us into various manifestations of the Incredible Hulk. Do you want to reach that point?

"You wouldn't be able to start stage two with that small a commitment. "Without funding we won't be able to start stage two. We need to have the money in place." The council's wish-list was given to both major parties. It included more mall re-development, plus an "all abilities" park, lights for Albrecht oval, and toilet blocks for Jim McConville, Frances Smith, Araluen and Head Street parks. Mayor Ryan says under Labor funding it is unclear what, if anything, can be done in stage two, given the shortfall and the delay, putting into doubt the long-planned three-stage scheme to cost a total of $15m. The Indigenous All Stars will play here in 2013, says Mayor Ryan, but he understands there have been plans to upgrade the Traeger Park lights for some time. He says one of the existing two sets of lights could be put up at Albrecht Oval. The council also asked for the Solar Cities project to be funded past the end of 2012-13 but this was not included in Mr Henderson's commitments. PHOTO: Market last Sunday in Todd Mall.

was identified in a November 2005 video as al-Qaeda's field commander in south-east Afghanistan, while Abd al-Hadi al-Iraqi was named as its commander in the south-west. Habib seems to have assumed overall command after the latter's capture in 2006. He was described as al-Qaeda's "military commander" in July 2008. US military officials say he oversees al-Qaeda's "internal" operations in Afghanistan and northern Pakistan. Habib may be operating under an assumed identity, according to some analysts. One of his noms de guerre is believed to be Khalid al-Harbi. Adnan el Shukrijumah In August 2010, the FBI said Adnan Gulshair el Shukrijumah had taken over as chief of al-Qaeda's "external operations council". Having lived for more than 15 years in the US, he is the first leader intimately familiar with American society to have been placed in charge of planning attacks for the group outside Afghanistan. Such a position - once held by the alleged mastermind of 9/11, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed - necessitates regular contact with al-Qaeda's senior leadership and military commanders, and makes him likely to be killed or captured. Born in Saudi Arabia, Shukrijumah moved to the US when his father, a Muslim cleric, took up a post at a mosque in Brooklyn. They later moved to Florida. In the late 1990s, he became convinced that he had to participate in jihad in place like Chechnya, and left for training camps in Afghanistan.

United Kingdom The end of the Second World War (1939-1945) brought profound change. There had been a general dissatisfaction with the Conservative government before the war and the voters were determined to have change. The 1945 General Election swept Churchill from power and brought in a Labour Party led by Clement Attlee. Their manifesto was for social justice, the creation of a National Health Service, council housing and the nationalization of much of the means of production and wealth. However, at the same time the United Kingdom was exhausted and virtually bankrupt from the prosecution of the war. Without the massive injection of American war materials and food through the Lease Lend Act it is questionable whether the United Kingdom would have been able to go on. In 1945 all this stopped in the most brutal way. Food shipments on the high seas were stopped and turned round. The United States immediately demanded payment for goods and food supplied. With a damaged infrastructure and an industry geared to war materials the country could only survive with massive loans from the United States. On the home front even more severe rationing had to be introduced after one of the hardest winters on record. On the scientific/military front the United Kingdom had been locked out of its atomic co-operation agreements with the United States and therefore determined to go it alone. At this period United Kingdom was maintaining occupation forces in both Germany and Japan. With the Americans dismissive of all European | NARRATIVE | NA HA | 180,811 |

If your content type only exposes some new fields that you'd like to make editable in the admin, you can simply register your model using the mezzanine.pages.admin.PageAdmin class: Any regular model fields on your content type will be available when adding or changing an instance of it in the admin. This is similar to Django's behaviour when registering models in the admin without using an admin class, or when using an admin class without fieldsets defined. In these cases all the fields on the model are available in the admin. If however you need to customize your admin class, you can inherit from PageAdmin and implement your own admin class. The only difference is that you'll need to take a copy of PageAdmin.fieldsets and modify it if you want to implement your own fieldsets, otherwise you'll lose the fields that the Page model implements: When registering content type models with PageAdmin or subclasses of it, the admin class won't be listed in the admin index page, instead being made available as a type of Page when creating new pages from the navigation tree.

Beechworth in April 2013. 2. Flame Trees MTB Trail The flame tress trails are some of the more exciting mountain bike trail developments near Beechworth. Designed by famed Australian trail builder Glen Jacobs and built by labour from Beechworth prison, the Flame Tress trails combine clever design, with careful planning and successful advocacy to produce an out and back trail that uses either side of the rail trail bike path. The beauty of this design creates an undulating, almost floating, trail riding experience using the natural features to propel you purposefully down and create the illusion of a moderately flat trail, when riding back towards the town. The flame trees trail, highlights what is possible with many small towns that are interested in increasing their visitor numbers, by the ever growing cycling tourist, in particular mountain bikers. Something as simple as using the shoulder of the existing rail trail can still deliver a great singletrack experience, which is what the search is all about. 3. Pine Plantations & Yackandandah The trails further afield are a little more difficult to find, and local knowledge will certainly help in directing you to key spots. There is a loop near towards Lake Kerford and back to town, in addition to a mixture of fire road and singletrack combinations towards Yackandandah, which is also worth a look.

get others to agree with me. That's the claim for universality, without which a judgment would not be a judgment of taste. Having had to put the judgment in this objective format, however, doesn't necessarily mean that its axiological charge is going to be unequivocally positive or negative. Or that the affective force of the judgment is going to be strong . Cute is a good example. I'm compelled to speak of it as an objective property of an object, which reflects my demand that everyone judge that object the same way. But our experience of something or somebody as cute is itself easily overpowered by a second feeling of manipulation or exploitation. Like the sentimental, which as literary critic Jennifer Fleissner points out, we wouldn't call "sentimental" if it really moved us deeply in the way that it aims to, the cute seems coupled with a certain inability to complete its own project. The same could also be said of the zany, tellingly defined by one online dictionary as a "ludicrous" character (that is, one who is not really convincing) who "attempts feebly" (that is, badly) to "mimic the tricks of the clown." And the same could also be said of the interesting, always just a step away from being merely interesting and thus just a step away from being boring.

of the easiest ways to be good mannered and substantial is to be silent and only talk when you have something important to say. This adds weight to your words. Manners are often dictated by common sense. If you would be offended by an action, that action is likely to offend others too. Check yourself often to see if your talk, conversations, and treatment of others is respectful or rude. Would you like to be spoken to or treated the same way? When asking someone about a touchy subject, keep your voice the same that you would if you were asking about the weather. This shows that you're taking them seriously and will allow them to be more comfortable about answering. Pardon bodily functions. Say "excuse me" if you belch or cough (or make any other unavoidable noise with your body). Laughing at a belch is poor manners and makes a person seem crude. It may be funny to your friends but others around you see it as poor character. Remember, though, that just because you say "excuse me" that does not mean you can belch at any time you like. Avoid doing it in front of anyone. When the door finally opens after you've been waiting for an elevator, let the people trying to leave the elevator go through the door first. Trying to enter an elevator before allowing people to exit exhibits poor manners and slows the entire process. Good manners doesn't mean that you can't joke and | HI | HI HT | 121,420 |

As all the systems absolutely relied on being able to do the end-to-end process on-line, this negated much of the advantage of being able to easily match payments to invoices, a process carried out manually by a large number of people. Despite that, as they were a very big company, suppliers were keen to get the business and the two shortlisted ones offered very good deals for a pilot using their system (or, to be precise, half their system).

games, four is the magic number. The odds are long. They can't afford a single loss. Never surrender. Matt Kemp is back in control. Win out. Just win baby! When it comes to the Cards, hope is all we have. When it comes to the Dodgers, it's about converting hope into action, i.e., playing hard, playing confident, and taking the attitude that they will "never surrender". And if they acquit themselves well in these remaining four games, and perhaps end the regular season on a six game winning streak, then as far as I'm concerned, no matter what the outcome, they will end the season on a positive note, which they will then use to carry them into the playoffs, or, if the Cards win, will carry them into next season. In 1962 the Dodgers led the giants by 3 with 3 left to play. The Dodgers (try as they did) couldn't win one at home and the giants won all three. Did they chock or just get cold?

When faced with the astronomical figures, Gertrude Walker, Supervisor of Elections for St. Lucie County, said she had no idea why turnout was so incredibly high. She was flabbergasted, saying , "We've never seen that here." This data is bogus. The over 100% is based on cards counted. There were two cards per voter. The actual results are posted at the county web site at: http://www.slcelections.com/Pdf%20Docs/2\\... The statement of cards cast is also there. There was 70% voter turnout. BTW, Roseanne Barr got 145 votes for President there. In every election someone wins and someone loses. That's what makes it an election. When your guy loses, it does not automatically mean that the election was rigged. It means that most of the people did not want your guy.

Some of the commenters here could be hit square in the face with a 2x4 and swear up and down it never happened.

That means that over 500 'voters' should really be upset cause they didn't get their 2nd card. Some areas did not have that many voting but the % showed something a lot different.

(and misquoted) by those who have no idea that they were written by Wilde, let alone which play they come from. To enter the world of these plays is to be lifted into Wilde's strange and surprising world and to realize how thoroughly his sensibility has become our own. Life and Work of Oscar Wilde Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde was born on October 16, 1854, to the Irish nationalist and writer Speranza Wilde and eye-and-ear doctor William Wilde. Young Oscar did exceptionally well at school, earning scholarships and taking high honors at both Trinity College Dublin and Oxford. While at Oxford, he met his teacher and mentor, Walter Pater, and became an enthusiastic follower of the aesthetic movement Pater championed. After graduating from Oxford in 1874, Wilde moved to London. He quickly gained notoriety for his sharp wit and flamboyant style of dress -- he was especially famous for wearing a dyed-green carnation, a French symbol of decadence and homosexuality, in his lapel. In addition to writing plays and criticism, Wilde traveled in London's most brilliant social circles, becoming a local celebrity. When he traveled to America to speak on aestheticism in 1882, he thrilled audiences from New York City socialites to western miners. By the time he returned to London, he was a transatlantic sensation. In the early 1880s, Wilde was regularly publishing plays and poems, but they were received badly. It wasn't until the late 1880s and early 1890s that he published some of his best-loved works, | NARRATIVE | NA SS | 3,263,290 |

A life of celebrity stardom and possible managerial successes lay ahead of him but, instead of succumbing to the attention that was bound for him after professional retirement, Del Piero set off on an experiment to expand the sport across the world. And, it has certainly gone well so far. The Italian joined Australian A-League side, Sydney FC, back in September, accompanying Emile Heskey and Shinji Ono as a trio of big-name stars determined to raise to awareness of football down under. Del Piero has not only raised the profile of the A-League, but his notable performances could aid Sydney's title challenge this season. Just four games in, Del Piero has played every minute, scored three goals and looks to have settled down perfectly to his new surroundings. He made his 800th professional appearance last week against Perth, scoring in the process, and his home debut against Newcastle set an Australian TV record for a single match viewing figures: +164,000. Although Del Piero is showing his age -- the 37-year-old aggravated a hamstring problem during his milestone appearance -- there is little doubt in the A League betting that his influence on the team and the league is already paying off. The feisty Italian made winning trophies look like an art form for club and country and now he is doing the same for Sydney.

To protect the citizen from going bankrupt because of medical costs which an insurance company refuses to pay there simply has to be laws passed to prevent such a practice by the health plan providers. In addition, private health plan premiums must be uniform, the same for everyone no matter what their age or health status. Likewise, no one shuold be refused health plan coverage due to pre existing conditions. Individual states now regulate the insurance companies within the states. Does this mean that if there is a government option that the states will also regulate this or will the federal option be excluded while the private insurance carriers are not? This would not be at all fair. Of course the purchase of health plans should be allowed across state lines. This will do away with state control of health plan providers. But, is this one of those items that the U.S. Constitution leaves for the states to regulate because health plans are not mentioned in the Constitution. Lawsuits brought forward by trial lawyers must be controlled to keep the fradulent cases at a minimum and also to place caps on awards.

I also think he would have given Quebec plenty to think about! FROM ED BROWN Let's get some facts straight. Trudeau and that snake Chretien put Canada in debt 200 billion dollars. Mulroney added 386 billion to that. Paul Martin took two years to clean up the snake Chretiens mess to balance the books and get rid of the deficits. Finally he paid off 90 billion on the debt within a few years with no loss of programs saving 24 billion per year in interest. If he had stayed in office we would be the richest country around with a disappearing debt. John Turner, the last man to bring in a balanced budget said there is absolutely no reason for a deficit unless a country is at war. Well we were at war and Martin managed anyway. Nothing in this country happens without money and the man who does the best with it is definitely the best PM. Harper has the debt over 600 billion. Ed Agreed, Ed. It was definitely stupid to vote Martin out in 2006. The man was everything a good conservative should be. For all the flack Bob Rae gets for Ontario, his fiscal record is on par with Harper's.

Oklahoma officials, for example, predicted that their lottery, launched in 2005, would raise $150 million in yearly revenue; five years later, the take was only $70 million. Also in 2005, Maine approved ?racinos,? racetracks with electronic gambling machines, predicting that they would shower the state with $32 million a year; they have yet to hit that number. More recently, Arkansas claimed that its new lottery would generate $100 million annually for state-sponsored college scholarships; the take last year was $89 million. The shortfalls are greater in the states that adopted gambling earlier, since those states have lost their lucrative monopolies. Take the New Jersey government, whose haul from Atlantic City casinos peaked at $477 million in 2006, the year before the first casino opened in neighboring Pennsylvania, and shrank to $327 million in 2010. Other places face similar threats if their neighbors get into the game. A study commissioned by the Louisiana Gaming Control Board, for instance, warned that gambling?s benefits to the state outweighed its costs largely because Texans crossed the border to gamble. If Texas were to legalize casinos, the study concluded, Louisiana?s industry would suffer. The legalization of new forms of gambling has helped destroy older ones. Pari-mutuel betting at state-sanctioned racetracks, once the most common form of gambling, now raises just $150 million in annual state revenue. In New Jersey, casinos have killed it off.

is just one of the many areas that they mistakenly downplay. CM: As someone who does study communication closely, how would you recommend politicians talk about this issue? JR: It depends on the audience, certainly. As someone who studies communication, I know that the most important thing is knowing who your audience is. And people who read my blog are not the general public. But, I've always believed that you should stick as closely to the science as possible. And my biggest advice to reporters has been, if you're doing a climate story, talk to climate scientists. The best climate stories are done by the people who talk to climate scientists. But I think this notion that you shouldn't talk about the science, or how dire things might be if we don't' act, that's silly. And on moral grounds, I think that if you believe a certain outcome is a very possible outcome, you have an obligation to tell people that. With global warming, the probability of a bad outcome if we stay on our current emission trends is incredibly high.

issue because Staples did not argue First Amendment protection for its statements. [ 28 ] The courts often decide cases on issues not argued by the parties, and the court assumed in this case that the Massachusetts law was constitutional under the First Amendment. Privilege provides a complete bar and answer to a defamation suit, though conditions may have to be met before this protection is granted. Privilege is any circumstance that justifies or excuses a prima facie tort. It can be said that privilege recognizes a defendant's action stemmed from an interest of social importance – and that society wants to protect such interests by not punishing those who pursue them. Privilege can be argued whenever a defendant can show that he acted from a justifiable motive. While some privileges have long been recognized, the court may create a new privilege for particular circumstances – privilege as an affirmative defense is a potentially ever-evolving doctrine. Such newly created or circumstantially recognized privileges are referred to as residual justification privileges. There are two types of privilege in the common law tradition: " Absolute privilege " has the effect that a statement cannot be sued on as defamatory, even if it were made maliciously; a typical example is evidence given in court (although this may give rise to different claims, such as an action for malicious prosecution or perjury) or statements made in a session of the legislature (known as 'Parliamentary privilege' in Commonwealth countries).

of forecasting the future from the past doesn't really work. This is my actual fear; that nothing constructive can be done until things get so bad that the overall governmental systems of the US (and the West in general) can be flushed down the toilet and replaced with something capable of addressing the issues without having to pander to voters, lobbyists, and public opinion. Clearly whatever replaces the modern Western governmental model would have to be relatively authoritarian, but this would seem to be a small price to pay if its what it takes to avoid planetary ecological and societal collapse. Is that Marie Antoinet(ta) of "let them eat cake" fame? Really, authoritarianism will simply be another huge step backward and add to the problems. What's needed is a) improved democracy (eg. get rid of the "representative" bit, they're too easy to corrupt). b) some "truth-in-advertising" laws for politicians and "so-called news" media. c) reduce (toward eliminate) the whole concept of nation-state. We are one species on one spaceship. Get used to it. There's reasons why when the US / British elites promote "spreading democracy" abroad, the only model acceptable to them is a representative system, and the less democratic the better. It's only 300 years since the British colonists used to shoot Australian aborigines on sight as vermin. Let us NOT go back there. "We are one species on one spaceship. Get used to it."

not given up on the idea of marriage. When Australians aged 15 to 29 were asked by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) whether "marriage is an outdated institution", 73 per cent disagreed. When it comes to pre-marital hijinks, eight out of 10 men shack up with their partners before they marry, says the ABS. Grooms are getting older, too, but most are in their 20s when they first marry. In 1988, the typical groom was 27 years and nine months. By 2007, according to the ABS, he was 29 years and seven months old. Most Australians are supportive of gay marriage, too, with a recent poll finding 53 per cent of men in favour, compared to a more accepting 68 per cent of women. | IN | IN IB | 114,289 |
new assignment and happened to meet a co worker who was very nice to me. We went out a couple of times (just as friends), but one night we were out drinking and he asked me if I can keep a secret. Then he gave me a kiss (on the lips) and told me how he felt about me the past few weeks, and how working next to my office was very difficult. It started from there. Unfortunately, I'm practically married (engaged), and he's been married for over a decade (though his relationship is rocky). I felt so guilty and I know it's very wrong, but I can't stop. We pretend like we don't know each other at work (many people at work have met his wife before), and it's driving me nuts. But how can I expect him to act any differently, if I myself can't even live up to my current engagement commitment? Oh the situations we put ourselves into....

However after 3 years of virtual, husband initiated, celibacy I was feeling so down and unloved that I tentatively joined extra-marital dating site Illicit Encounters earlier this year (leaving hubbie and kids was not an option for me).

(for authors) against this form of misconduct on the part of reviewers is to pre-publish their work in the form of a preprint or technical report on a public system such as arXiv . The preprint can later be used to establish priority, although this violates the stated policies of some journals. Many journals deal with peer review failures by publishing letters, [ 60 ] though some opt not to do so. Retraction of an article may be required. The author of a disputed article is allowed a published reply to a critical letter. However, neither the letter nor the reply is usually peer-reviewed, and typically the author rebuts the criticisms. Thus, the readers are left to decide for themselves if a peer review failure occurred. "Perhaps the most widely recognized failing of peer review is its inability to ensure the identification of high-quality work.

Introduction In this paper I isolate the policies and acknowledge the sentiments that most impinged on the shift in status of postwar immigrants from Aliens to Australian citizens and the sense of belonging this should engender. In their publication, Citizenship and the politics of belonging , Stephen Castles & Alastair Davidson (2000:vii) 1 note that the membership of individuals in modern democratic societies is marked by the status of citizenship and that those who belong in a given nation-state: Have documents certifying their membership - generally a certificate of birth or naturalization and an identity card or passport. Possess a wide range of civil, political and social rights and a series of obligations to the community and state; and that The democratic state needs the participation of all its members: everybody is meant to belong. Ann Mari Jordens claims that 'a nation's understanding of itself is revealed by the categories of people it regards as foreign, as alien, as 'other'. 2 The Macquarie dictionary defines an 'alien' as 'one born in or belonging to another country who has not acquired citizenship by naturalization and is not entitled to the privileges of a citizen.' The Aborigines and the Chinese on the goldfields were among the first peoples branded aliens by Australian authorities. The anti-Asian attitudes that first manifest on pastoral properties and other places of Chinese indentured employment, evolved on the Goldfields into an intense and escalating xenophobia against Chinese credit-ticket holders who came in their tens of thousands to compete | IN | IN RA | 568,088 |

allowed to sit stagnant on its surface. The worst case scenario seems to be a bit of rotting at the ends, but if it's a weathered look you're seeking out, it may well be that this is part of the overall image you desire. If you decide to go this route of weathering your deck, it's well worth making sure you move any plant pots that sit on your deck from time to time to make sure there isn't water congregating beneath them. Another way to get this weathered look on your deck is to apply a heavily diluted, semi-transparent, water based stain that you rub on randomly on to the surface of your deck. If the end result of this process is less weathered than you were hoping for, wash the stained deck with a power washer on a medium setting to remove some of the traces of stain, leaving the deck looking even more weathered. You can then apply random staining to certain boards to create a really convincing effect. Not surprisingly a bleach solution will create a similar effect, particularly with the bleaching strength of the sun behind it, but be careful not to either damage surrounding plants with the bleach solution or to make it so strong that it damages your decking. A rather novel and slightly old-fashioned way to achieve this weathered look is by applying a dilution of baking soda (about 2 cups of baking soda to around 5 litres of water) to the | HI | HI HT | 3,146,202 |

many different theories, characterized by different values of such parameters, are equivalent to SR in that they are experimentally indistinguishable from SR (though they differ from SR in other aspects). In addition there is the "standard model extension (SME)" of Colladay and Kosteleck? that extends the standard model of particle physics with various plausible Lorentz-violating terms. This is in the context of quantum field theory, and is well beyond the scope of this article (which is limited to SR and its immediate consequences). The goal of many of the recent tests is to put limits on the many parameters of this test theory. Colladay and Kosteleck?, Phys. Rev. D55 (1997) pg 6760 ( arxiv:hep-ph/9703464 ) , and Phys. Rev.

This can invalidate some conclusions of the measurement due to the extinction theorem of Ewald and Oseen. This theorem states that the speed of light will approach the speed c / n relative to the medium ( n is its index of refraction), and it also determines how long a path length is required for that approach. The distance required depends strongly on the index of refraction of the medium and the wavelength: for visible light and optical glass it is less than a micron, for air it is about a millimeter, and for the intergalactic medium it is a few parsecs.
