and the Australian Institute of International Affairs, play an indispensable part in building Australia's understanding and appreciation of Asia. Without your tireless efforts, the extraordinary growth in mutual understanding and trust that lies at the heart of better regional cooperation would soon wither and disappear. I urge you to continue that vital work. For its part, the Australian Government has developed a clear and practical approach to regional engagement based on economic liberalisation and the other key policy elements I have outlined today. We are pursuing these policies because, for Australia, the way forward is with Asia. | SP | SP FS | 723,541 |

building clashing with Libyan demonstrators" Every British government has "clashed with demonstrators," often lethally. "When Scotland released Abdelbaset el Megrahi, Seif was there to give him a royal greeting" Don't know how where you see the "royal" in that greeting but the whole of Libya greeted Megrahi as the innocent, framed victim that he was, framed for a bombing that we all knew, back in 1989, was ordered by Iran in retaliation for the downing of an Iranian Airbus by a US warship (whose skipper was awarded a medal for it) and executed by Syria. The current Islamist leaders of Libya are equally supportive of Megrahi: "We will not give any Libyan citizen to the West," Mohammed al-Alagi, the NTC justice minister, told reporters in Tripoli. "When Libyans took to the street to demand their rights, he threatened their extermination. " You mean when fundamentalist jihadis, whom Saif had personally released from jail when the promised to behave, suicide-bombed th Derna barracks, cut the throats of everyone inside, and seized their arms. The media is partly to blame for the current confusion of "protester" with terrorist. We have grown accustomed to seeing captions like "Libyan protester firing an RPG." If Saif was so evil in threatening the jihadist "protesters" of Derna and Benghazi, what was the British government then, when it killed and imprisoned so many Irish "protesters" to whom Gaddafi had delivered all that semtex? 1.

I saw the painting in Ben's studio, which was then in Alexandria. Ben would miss out that year, although his portrait of Beryl Whiteley did make it to the finals. But this year he has stormed home with his wonderful evocation of that grande dame of Australian art, Margaret Olley. There was a definite sense of history and the passage of time yesterday when Ben was announced as the winner of the 90th Archibald Prize. Margaret Olley, of course, was the subject of William Dobell's 1948 Archibald Prize winning portrait. At that time, Olley was a young unknown, just about to leave for Europe for the first time and embark on what would become a long, sometimes bumpy and richly creative life. Yesterday, there she was again, this time as a near legend, as well known for her own lifetime's artistic output as she is for her remarkable philanthropy. Edmund Capon, director of the Art Gallery of NSW, told me yesterday that Olley's gifts of local and international artworks to the AGNSW are in the vicinity of $8 million. Some of those gifts to the gallery were paintings by Quilty. You can see what attracted Olley to Quilty's painting in the first place, when she and AGNSW curator Barry Pearce were judging the 2002 travelling scholarship. There's a love of the creaminess and viscosity of paint, a deftness of application, a daring to be different, and a dangerous edge to the subject matter. Sometimes Quilty has gone too far, however. | SP | SP IT | 3,310,619 |

and also can seem inappropriate and threatening if asked before a level of trust is established in the interview. The interviewer wants to engage the respondent from the beginning of the conversation so that the respondent is interested in the survey and will continue to answer questions. If the interviewer started the survey by asking the respondent's age or sex, the respondent might get bored and decide not to continue with the survey. In addition, if someone called you and first started asking how much money you make, your race, how many children you have, etc., you might be put off by these personal questions and decide not to continue with the survey. You can view the most commonly asked demographic questions in Pew Research Center for the People & the Press surveys, in the order we ask them, here . What's all this rotating and randomizing going on in your questionnaires? Rotating or randomizing means that questions or items in a list are not asked in the same order to each respondent. We know that answers to questions are sometimes affected by questions that precede them. By presenting questions in a different order to each respondent, we ensure that each question gets asked in the same context as every other question the same number of times (e.g., first, last or any position in between). This does not eliminate the potential impact of previous questions on the current question, but it does ensure that this bias is spread randomly across | HI | HI FH | 680,942 |
Hockey analyst Nick Kypreos is seen in the Sportsnet studio in Toronto on November 9, 2010. (JENNIFER ROBERTS For The Globe and Mail) They talk over each other. They have trouble staying on topic. They drink waaay too much water. They yell about "back diving" and "make whole." But Sportsnet's Hockey Central At Noon panel echoes the chaos as the NHL attempts to take out its own appendix without anesthesia. Former player Nick Kypreos personifies the defiant, prideful heart of player resistance. Former Columbus general manager and president Doug MacLean uses his small-market perspective to offer the pretzel logic of the league's business plan. Host Daren Millard tries to advance the issues before the bombs start flying. You can't watch it every day. The debate points are worn to the rims. The parties seem like actors being asked to do a hundredth scene take by Alfred Hitchcock. But it's the car-crash reality of the lockout in a way no other Sportsnet or TSN show has yet captured. This, ladies and gentleman, is what the NHL has become in the fall of 2012. A dysfunctional talk show. Pot-shots at Tebow It may not be the most base journalistic technique to sell papers, but it's got to be in the bottom three. Namely, citing unidentified teammates to launch ad hominem attacks on New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow.

to last in everything, and you know me). But I started to like running. I liked being able to run on my own without anyone seeing me puffing and panting. I enjoyed spending time outside when I wasn't rushing somewhere, so I could actually see some of it. Most of all I liked the feeling of getting fit and losing weight running . You will be amazed at how quickly you can actually improve your fitness. It wasn't all a walk (or run!) in the park, however. Since I just started out on my own I made a number of mistakes. Minor injuries from trying to make progress too fast, or from trying to make do with one long run a week instead of several shorter ones. Suffering from trying to run in the wrong shoes. And many other minor setbacks along the way. Eventually I started to find the right way to get fit. Then I started to read some books and papers in scientific journals (I should say that I am a qualified scientist). As a result I found out a lot about how to make better progress, and where I'd been going wrong in the past. If only I'd found this out before!

very often, but I do click on an image if it's particularly good. And, speaking of good photos, remember back during the Summer Olympics when U.S. Olympic Gymnast, McKayla Maroney became famous for her 'not impressed' look while on the podium to receive a Silver Medal? It was a classic: Mikayla Maroney was 'not impressed' at winning a Silver Medal Well, Mikayla and the rest of her American Olympic Gymnast team was at the White House this week and, apparently, President Barack Obama is a big fan of her 'look'. He says he uses that look at least once every day. The President asked Mikayla to pose with him: Who has the best 'not impressed' look?

In the social sciences, reality is what is perceived. That is what the mainstream media is banking on when they publish their distorted poll results showing Obama leading Romney. If these polls can make enough voters believe that Romney has no chance, then the media may tip the election in favor of Obama. At this stage of the race, the best polling to follow is Rasmussen. At the two week point, polls will converge, not necessarily because the race has become definitive. Pollsters will then try their best to predict, rather than influence, the outcome. After all, they must live to poll another day. (Breitbart) One of the chief reasons the media is so mistaken in their zeal to proclaim Obama the election winner is that most of the polls they're basing their predictions on are wildly inflating Democrat turnout. The overwhelming majority of media polls are an assuming an electorate that is at least as Democrat as the one in 2008, with many polls assuming a higher Democrat turnout. This is just daft. The latest CBS poll of 3 swing states is the most recent to show that GOP has a huge turnout advantage over Democrats. Yesterday, CBS/NYT released its latest Quinnipiac poll of Colorado, Virginia and Wisconsin. With the exception of CO, the polls had heavy Democrat skews, so the head-to-head match-ups aren't particularly informative. What was telling though was the differences in enthusiasm between the two parties. 3 Responses to "Most Polls Are Meaningless At This Point" | OP | OP OB | 769,154 |

Now that the Republicans and Democrats have decided that the tribe of Israel should be given back all their historical territory, I expect and await their joint decision that the USA be given back to the native Americans.

and TV that calves in pastures were grown into large steers through a gradual process of fistfighting and gunslinging, with the cowboys taking frequent breaks to drink whiskey and play poker. But that was only part of the story. What role did the women and children play? Why the windmills? Who provided basic services? All these questions and more have now been answered by a Supreme Court Justice, of all things. Lazy B is Sandra Day O'Connor's memoir of her girlhood on a ranch in the desert Southwest. The simple unaffected style of her writing is just right to convey the power of the story: a family living on a desolate ranch for 113 years--a happy family, a resourceful and persistent family. The Day ranch had already been operating for 50 years when Sandra was born in 1930, and was still going strong when she was appointed to the high court 51 years later. The Days didn't have hot running water until 1937, but when they did it was from a solar heater designed by Sandra's father--40 years ahead of the solar energy craze of the 1970s. That sort of self reliance and innovation is one of the main themes of the book: when they needed more water they built windmills to bring it up out of the ground. When the windmills broke, they fixed them. Before the windmills and solar heater, the limited hot water for bathing was used in sequence: first Sandra's mother, then her father, then the | IP | IP DS | 694,259 |
set up my own business, deciding what not to do so I could focus. But slowly, and surely, things have come together which brings me on to: Fruitio n So, how long does it take to see your potential come to fruition? I don't want to torture the fruit metaphor, but as fruit grows: - It grows slowly so that you wouldn't notice it growing if you sat staring at it. - It has seasons and there are some great periods of growth and some that aren't so good. - Even though it grows slowly and at differing speeds, it does grow and there is something great at the end of it. It is the same with seeing your potential come to fruition; it may not happen overnight, it may not be a straight road, but you do need to be moving steadily in the right direction and if you're not seeing any growth, it is time for some serious thinking. So, if you want to realise your potential and see it come to fruition: 1. Become fully aware of your potential 2. Cause your potential to happen. Do what it takes. 3. When appropriate, be patient 4. If you're not growing and moving towards realising your potential, be impatient and do something about it!

See section 6.3 below for more details. 6.3 RECORDING FIRST AID TREATMENTS Nominated First Aid Officers shall record all treatments given by them on the First Aid Treatment Record Form (see Appendix 5 ). This form should be kept in or near each first aid kit. The NFAO must send the original of this form to WHS Services K07 at least every quarter, and sooner when the form is full. The NFAO may retain a copy locally for their own records. Where there is a local Department/School/Unit Safety Committee, that Committee may request to review these forms periodically to assist with local WHS risk management. 7.

See also Fieldwork Safety Guidelines . The first aid equipment carried on field trips must be limited to that necessary for reasonably foreseeable circumstances given the competence of field party members in first aid. It must be reasonably portable (light and compact) so as to interfere minimally with the carriage of necessary research and camping equipment, supplies, etc. It must be durable so as to remain intact and keep its contents sterile in adverse conditions.

it about the song that made you think it was cohesive with the U.S. Girls project as a whole? I am just crazy about the song so I wanted to cover it. Each song I have chosen to cover has been due to my love for the original. Not because I thought it would fit my voice or my vibe. Just for love and for fun. The video for 'Jack' is so striking, glitzy and tragic and lovely all at once. How much input do you have into the direction/concepts of your videos? All of the videos I have made have been collaborations with other artists. I think its important to bring in help when video time comes. The song is made and thats the hard part. Now comes the time to try and represent it visually to your audience, and it's valuable to have other peoples opinions and ideas, because they hear the song differently than you do because they didn't write it. I usually have an initial idea, I bring it to who I am going to be working with and the sky is the limit from there.

Nobody does a cover quite like Oasis does. They always sound great and they never insult the original. All the guys are big fans of Bowie and this song is a nice tribute to him. It's an awesome song already and Oasis does a great cover. This is the only place to get this song from. This is a grea Oasis single. It has two songs that are only available on it, so harcore fans really should pick this one up. What I loved about buying an Oasis single import CD back in the '90s was that there were two or three other songs which were usually great tracks! Unfortunately, I never got to buy this particular one, which includes a very rare studio version of David Bowie's "Heroes" which I feel is the best version I've heard of that tune. In fact, that cover is essentially why I finally ended up buying this CD.

Steve Jobs vs. Sam Walton: The tale of the tape November 15, 2012: 5:00 AM ET A rare conversation with Walter Isaacson and John Huey, the writers who got inside the heads of these two extraordinary business leaders. By Andy Serwer, managing editor FORTUNE -- When you consider the greatest business minds of the past 100 years, certainly Steve Jobs and Sam Walton have to be at the very top of the list. Jobs created the most valuable company on earth (though down from an all-time high, Apple ( AAPL ) is still worth more than $500 billion), while Walton founded and built Wal-Mart ( WMT ), the biggest company in the world, with more than $450 billion in sales over the past 12 months. But Jobs and Walton did even more than that. Both created retailing, business, and even societal revolutions. They changed the way we buy, shop, and interact, and even how and where we work and live. The two men were vastly different. Jobs was a business version of a California counterculture icon. Walton was an old-school heartland conservative. And yet they were remarkably similar too: iconoclasts, of course, relentless, and often very tough on the people around them. And that's just for starters. If you really drill down into their lives and careers, all kinds of really cool insights emerge. Who better to compare and contrast these two remarkable men than their remarkable biographers, Walter Isaacson and John Huey? Isaacson, author of Steve Jobs , is | SP | SP IT | 3,189,216 |
just have to suffer because I don't want too much debt." Most of the ultra-high medical bills never get fully paid, so the providers just pass the buck to the next patient and charge them even more. Most hospitals will settle immediately for 40% off their bill because that is how much they lose when the bill goes to collections in 3-6 months. When a creditor has a debtor that matches my profile, they are willing to settle for even much less. I just settled a $900 bill for $300. I will pay what I can when I can. But if I owe you $10k, and owe 12 other creditors just as much, then your payment will just have to wait. In the meantime, I will do what I can to make sure my healthy son gets an education -- and he sure won't get a Pell grant because my income is way too high to qualify. And in ch 13 bankruptcy college funding is not considered an "allowed" expense. Regardless of your income, in ch 13 you're expected to live with just basic needs for 5 years, even if median income families in your area are receiving entitlements to help them make ends meet. In this manner you can be better off earning under the median income for 6 months, filing ch 7, and be back on your feet living the good life in less than a year.

How would you describe your style? My personal style is generally a clash of tailoring and edginess. I like to wear at least one statement piece a day if I can -- a Joanne Hynes Collar, a Galibardy knuckleduster, a hint of neon, a little bit of (fake) fur. I wear shorts a lot, because they're handy for cycling and I absolutely love a bit of hot pink. However, I can also be very, very lazy and slouch around in hoodies and checked shirts. Who are your fashion heroes? The Olsen twins are great for lazy drama, Kate Bosworth manages to hoover up all the high-end edgy stuff. At home here, I love Celestine Cooney for her urban-meets-catwalk look. Are there any particular trends we should be keeping our eyes open? I hear leather harnesses are going to be big for Spring next year which I'm totally up for -- a bit of pseudo-goth always ramps up the drama. Particularly if you clash the harness with some nice, floaty, chiffon. Which is your favourite item currently available at Barratts? I am LOVING the Ravel Suede Glitter Block Heel -- it's just the perfect height and the perfect amount of sedate glitter to wear to work!

by opening Buckingham Palace to the public and charging admission. As soon as The Duke returned he was asked to become Chairman of the Restoration Committee. The Committee obtained the agreement of all relevant authorities to its general plan, and work was able to go ahead without interference or interruption. Part of the plan included re-siting the Private Chapel in such a way that its window looked out over the Upper Quadrangle. The Duke's sketch for a suggested stained glass window was adopted and executed by Joseph Nuttgens. 46. The Duke was the first member of the Royal family to be involved in television programmes. In May 1957, he presented a programme for the BBC about his four and a half month tour of the Commonwealth. In 1967, he introduced one of Lord Buxton's 'Survival' series about the Galapagos Islands called the 'Enchanted Isles'. He was the anchor-man for a programme on physical recreation for the CCPR. In 1957, he made a BBC programme during the International Geophysical Year under the title 'The Restless Sphere.' 47. In 1965, the Prime Minister, Harold Wilson, invited The Duke to chair a committee to design a scheme to reward industrial and export achievement. They became the Queen's Awards for Enterprise including the categories of Industry, Export and Environmental Achievement. 48. The Duke is Grand Master and First and Principal Knight of the Order of the British Empire. It was founded by King George V to recognise public service throughout the Empire and Commonwealth. | IN | IN DP | 93,051 |

testing of agrochemicals involves looking at their effects at high concentrations, assuming that those who will work with them risk exposure to them in undiluted form. There are strict regulations concerning their use, and also concerning residue levels that are permitted in food. The regulations err on the side of safety. From the information widely available on the internet, it seems that the residue levels present in wine are not going to have any negative health effects. However, I can understand why the results cause concern. If a chemical has the potential to be carcinogenic, should we be using it at all on wine grapes? Wouldn?t it be safer not to use any pesticides at all if there is a risk that they might end up in wine? While this position sounds a sensible one, it ignores the fact that many substances are harmless at normal levels of exposure, but with repeated exposure at high concentrations they can be carcinogenic, or toxic in other ways. Let?s give an example. It could be that the active ingredient in sunscreen (and I?m making this up), when used at 100 times the concentration found in commercial preparations, can cause cancer when rubbed on the ears of laboratory rats every day for a year. Does this mean that sunscreen is carcinogenic? No. There is such a dose that has no observable adverse effects, and to avoid using sunscreen because of worries about health could end up putting you in much worse danger.

paper) in the MLB would be my focus as GM. So let me play GM for a moment as well as LADODGERTALK geekster. I'd give up both Gordon AND Ethier and maybe even a good prospect arm to get Price. I'd re-sign Victorino and hope that Crawford is healthy and back to form. I'd go with that outfield of Kemp, Crawford, and Victorino hoping that Puig can be Vicotrino's eventual replacement. Kershaw and Price would be the best 1-2 punch in baseball -- better than what the Giants have or any other team. We'd have great team speed with Crawford and Victorino and ouldn't have to worry weather Ethier can hit lefties (not to mention that he is not the speed guy that Victorino is). Ellis could stay at second, Ramirez at SS, and Cruz at third without wondering what to do with Gordon. However, who's arm would replace Ethier's? Who would fit best in RF, Crawford or Victorino (until hopefully Puig becomes the guy in a couple of years)? Would the Rays even want Ethier and his contract? Maybe Gugg$ and Co. can send enough $ to the Rays to make it happen. After seeing what was pulled off with the Redsox, I can't help but wonder about such a deal. Can any of you?

of this may be that proposals that are not genuine can be aired without the severity of consequence had those proposals been stated to be in relation to takeovers. Association -- while not giving much away, Treasury's release indicates that the accurate disclosure of associations is a critical element of a properly informed market. This is perhaps recognising the difficulty that can be had with respect to proving association. We may see a debate around rebuttable presumptions of association in certain circumstances (eg common directors) as is the case in some other jurisdictions. The debate may also look at the different approaches the Takeovers Panel has taken in relation to association in different matters. Impact of new media -- related to the issue of clarity of takeover proposals, this concern identifies the rise of new forms of communication and their potential impact on rumours and other matters that can affect a well informed and efficient market. We understand that Treasury will facilitate consultation in relation to these important matters. Such consultation is to be welcomed. It may also be appropriate for the matter to be referred to the government's Corporations and Markets Advisory Committee ( CAMAC ). CAMAC has previously undertaken excellent work in the area of schemes of arrangement and there would be every expectation that a CAMAC report on these matters would be a sound platform from which to move forward with any reform proposals.

Nutrition Beta-carotene is largely responsible for the orange colour of carrots. This compound, from foods, plays an important role in cancer prevention. It's more readily absorbed from cooked, grated or pured carrots. Scientists are excited by another compound found in carrots -- falcarinol -- which also appears to have cancer-fighting abilities.

The Impact of Technology on the Federal Government: What's in it for me? By Daniel Eisen I should learn not to promise what I will talk about in subsequent posts. It always happens that as I research for each post I find something that derails the conversation in some way. In my last post , I promised that I would 'geek-out' and discuss some emerging technologies for supporting and strengthening federal agency operations and services. As I began my research things quickly changed. It's easy to get overwhelmed by a never-ending array of technological innovations we see and hear about each and every day; I know I did just trying to get a handle on all of these new technologies. I began to wonder why we need all of this technology and what it means to me as a citizen consumer of federal programs and services. And, then I remembered some articles I came across a few years ago on the topic of 'Technological Determinism'. Never heard of this term? Neither did I. So, I want to share some of them with you. Many of these articles discuss how technology has changed the way we live, technology as an important change agent, technology as a driving force of history and many other engaging conversations.

knew he faced a hard fight on Capitol Hill. The Senate, who would have to ratify the controversial treaty, were far from happy with the deal. SEN. FRANK MURKOWSKI, (R) Alaska: My problem with Kyoto is there's no net gain. In other words, if you allow the developing nations to have a free ride, and if you buy their argument, well. they deserve a chance to catch up as the industrialized nations have advanced, then when we're through, have we got any significant net gain? Have we reduced emissions? NARRATOR: Ironically, most climate scientists were also underwhelmed by the Kyoto treaty. TOM M.L. WIGLEY, Nat'l Center for Atmospheric Research: If everybody were to come on board with the Kyoto Protocol, then that would slow down the rate of climate change by a very, very small amount. As a best guess, we think that the concentration of carbon dioxide in the year 2100 would be about 700 parts per million, which is roughly double what it is today. If we enact and follow the Kyoto protocol, then we might reduce the buildup by a few tens of parts per million carbon dioxide. In other words, instead of doubling the amount of carbon dioxide, we might only increase it by 90 percent. NARRATOR: Computer models show that the provisions of the Kyoto treaty would not stop the rise in atmospheric concentrations. To do this means eventually going way beyond Kyoto and cutting world fossil emissions by a half or more. How could | SP | SP IT TA | 233,775 |
PMQs: Ed Miliband goes mainstream Ed Miliband impersonating Tony Blair at the CBI conference earlier this week; or at least that's what David Cameron says he was doing there. Image; Getty A muted PMQs today. But Cameron opened a fresh offensive which may prove to be a blunder. The leaders began by discussing the Gaza crisis in bland and soporific tones. The absence of heat and noise from the debate indicates how little it affects Britain. And how little Britain affects the debate. Cameron and Miliband were in virtual agreement throughout. And they were keen to urge everyone, other than themselves, to work harder to create peace. Cameron suggested that Obama should make the Middle-East a key objective of his second-term, just as one might make weeding the raspberries a key objective of the coming weekend. Miliband noted that 'confidence in the two-state solution is dwindling.' But if you canvass politicians outside the Middle East you find there are about 200 states demanding 'the two-state solution'. It's just the two states involved that don't want it. On domestic matters, Miliband chose the health service. And he revealed the calamitous fact that the number of cataract operations has fallen. Disturbing news for the poor blinking victims, of course, but unlikely to trigger a no-confidence motion. The Labour leader was coasting today. He seemed to have left his gag-writers in the pub to enjoy an early lunch while he jousted half-heartedly with the prime minister. He was 'out of touch', said Miliband. | NARRATIVE | NA NE | 1,416,308 |

The journey for me was only just starting, and I couldn't see the end, I couldn't see a finishing point. I didn't know where my life was leading, or what was going to happen. At 21 years old, I felt well beyond my years. Being in hospital, I knew exactly what would happen in my day, and when. I could lose myself in the schedule that had been manipulated for me, I had only to focus on the day and tasks in hand... Now my focus had slipped. My life was blurred, and I couldn't rip myself away from the painful thought that just over two weeks previously, I had been cocky enough to think that I had finally got everything sorted, and I knew exactly where my life's path was taking me. Soon enough it was time for bed. Chris and Mum lead me upstairs to help with my needs in the bathroom and getting my pyjamas on. After brushing my teeth, Mum helped me along to my bedroom where Chris was sat on the bed waiting for me. I sat on the bed and heaved my left side so as it followed my right.

Good morning, sir. I'm Elder Lamb and this is Elder Sanders. We're from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and we have an important message for you. May we come in? If you let them in, you've invited them to begin the process of "discussions," six canned lessons they've been trained to deliver and leading, ideally, to baptism into the Mormon Church. They'll begin by telling you the Heavenly Father has a plan for your eternal happiness. Jesus Christ and Joseph Smith are central figures in this plan of salvation. Prophets, both ancient and modern, reveal the purpose and will of God. The Book of Mormon is additional scripture testifying to the message. The lessons last about an hour each and are spread over four to six weeks. On their second and subsequent visits, the young missionaries will urge you to repentance, faith in their doctrines, baptism into their church, and moral living. Only their church, they say, can lead you to true righteousness and ultimate salvation. All other so-called Christian churches profess creeds abominable to the Lord and offer only counterfeit holiness. (1) Shortly after the death of the Apostles, Mormons claim, the pure Christian faith was overtaken by false doctrine and vanished totally from the earth. This "apostasy" was reversed and the true Church was restored in 1830 in upstate New York by the boy-prophet, Joseph Smith.

they remembered the clipnosis and applied it and were absolutely amazed at how easy it was to work on the cat. What I use is a 2 inch metal binder clip from Staples. It works quite well I will enclose a website, at the bottom, but you can also Google clipnosis for cats, and have a look at some of the You Tube videos and articles on clipnosis. One other thing that I've seen is a collar that is made out of plastic and is shaped like a funnel and extends beyond the cat's ears. This funnel shaped collar makes it a little more difficult for the cat to turn and bite anybody that is working on her/him. I haven't had any experience with this collar, but it's worth checking out. Check your local pet food stores. I understand some of them are now carrying the thundershirt's for dogs, but they should also be able to get the ones for cats, which could be faster than buying over the Internet if you're of a mind to go that way.

any of allegra, philabs, cmcl2, or rutgers. The last of these was on the Arpanet, making it possible for me to reach anyone on that network with a bang-path like "marob!phri!rutgers!mit-xx!someone", where "mit-xx" was an Arpanet host. Philabs, on the other hand, led into the core of the uucp network: via linus, it could reach decvax, and from decvax, any of such major sites as seismo, ihnp4, and others that "everyone" knew paths to. So rather than having a fixed address, one published a partial "bang path" relative to well-known addresses: mine was "...!phri!marob!magpie!cowan", and it was assumed that anyone knew or could find out how to reach phri. Later, things changed and my partial path became "...uunet!hombre!marob!magpie!cowan", uunet having taken over seismo's role as major hub. The system was unstable and messy, and email went hop-by-hop, often taking a day to a week arrive, depending on the schedules of phone calls between systems.

extraordinary novel about a young girl struggling with the inevitable changes in her life. Eleven-year-old Julia is going through the same things all of us do as we grow up - her parents are confusing and contradictory, her best friend seems to have forgotten she's alive, and the boy she's had a crush on since forever is as inconstant as the moon (as Shakespeare would say!), acting like her friend one day and a complete stranger the next. Add to all this the changes in her body, the drama at the bus stop, and new challenges at school, and you get a real glimpse into what it's like for a girl on the edge of maturity. Walker's insight into female coming-of-age is remarkable. And then, on top of it all, there's the novel's setting - THE AGE OF MIRACLES takes place during a genuine catastrophe of astronomical proportions. For some inexplicable reason, the Earth's rotation has begun to slow down, meaning the length of the day is increasing little by little until the periods of darkness and light are so long that it takes multiple twenty-four hour periods just to see the sun rise. The ramifications of this are profound, both on the people in Walker's world and on the world itself. When it's revealed that the Earth's magnetic field has shifted, it becomes very clear that things will never be the way they once were.

when they talk about Detroit that way, there's a racial tone to it that's unacceptable. They're using our democratic process to bully us to accept their way. That message is coming from an organization, a company, that is supposed to be a good corporate neighbor to the city of Detroit that hosts it." No community benefits for Delray have been negotiated, Tlaib said. "We have nothing, right now," she said. "All we're asking for is to have a conversation."

We don't have any time for race baiting." Moroun, whose bridge company has put $33.2 million into the Proposal 6 campaign, had steered clear of the Detroit issue until this weekend, it's not the first time he has tried to bash the public bridge by depicting it as a government pork project for Detroit. In June 2011, when a bridge bill was before the Legislature, Moroun hired political consultant Dick Morris to conduct a poll that included a question that began: "Critics of the bridge say this is just a payoff to politicians in Detroit." Another question described community benefits for Delray by saying bridge supporters "propose paying 10% of the cost of the bridge to support golf courses (and) swimming pools" in Detroit.

world, there is no need to wait until you are back to a WiFi or cable internet connection and a computer. But of course to do this you need a 3G enabled data SIM in the camera and this brings additional costs. In a commercial situation say a surveyor or a mobile worker, there is a strong argument for business where paying for the monthly cost of a SIM in a camera will pay for itself. It will make the sharing of images easier and simpler and the business can normally afford the associated costs. There will to be a similar argument for professional photographers and avid enthusiasts. However, the average person who walks the street and takes pictures of their friends, families and events, would they use the 3G, I believe all would like to but I am inclined to think many won't and here is why. The confusion between camera and smartphone. We all carry a phone and many now use the phone camera instead of a compact camera. The compact camera or SLR comes out only at special events in many family scenarios. The Galaxy camera is a smartphone without the phone function thus does someone now carry a smartphone and the Galaxy camera or do they carry the smartphone and the Galaxy camera only to the events they would normally have taken their compact camera too?

mistake by assuming that they should therefore put as many keywords as possible into this title line. While this sounds like a great idea -- it is actually quite counter-productive because when a query is being processed by the search engine, it checks for the percentage of match with any given title. ie: the search query wooden furniture will be given a score of 100% against a title line that simply contains just the words wooden furniture . However, a page-title that contains the words wooden furniture, tables, chairs, stools will only get a 40% score -- because the words "tables, chairs, stools" do not match what was entered by the user. To be blunt -- less is more when it comes to titles! Much better to create a separate page with a different title for the other keywords. Relying On MetaTags . A few years ago, most search engines relied heavily on the "keywords" and "description" meta-tags on a page in order to establish a ranking. Unfortunately these tags have become so abused that they're generally given a very low weighting when establishing a page's position within the search results. By all means make sure that you're using relevant keywords and a sensible description in your meta-tags but don't expect them to make much difference to a search engine such as Google.

State of the nation Pollster Deborah Mattinson speaks to us about her new book, which tells how New Labour's failure to listen to what the public were saying wrecked its relationship with voters. Deborah Mattinson, co-founder of Opinion Leader Research, spent more than 20 years conducting and analysing focus groups for the Labour Party, working closely with Gordon Brown throughout the New Labour period. But the relationship came to what she calls "a sad end" last year as the party became increasingly unwilling to hear (or unable to stomach) what voters were saying. In her new book, Talking to a Brick Wall, Mattinson uses focus group findings to tell the story of New Labour "through the eyes of the voter", chronicling the breakdown of the relationship between politician and public from the 1980s right up to this year's general election and Labour leadership contest. Research: What made you decide to call your book Talking to a Brick Wall? DM: Two reasons. One is that my observation would be that voters and politicians, rather than talking to each other and listening to each other, are now talking to a brick wall. It's a two-way thing. Voters are not being heard by politicians. That then becomes a vicious circle because it means that politicians are talking a language that voters don't understand and aren't interested in.

The End is here... The Result We didn't managed to fulfill our altered predictions, but I am none the less pleased that we managed to reach our pre-season prediction. Although pleased I was disappointed though that we didn't manage to beat Nice who in one fair night managed to ruin our chances at the league. The reason Nice managed to put a nasty twist to the season is in the below section. The Team As you can see below the players all played well and are now on a well earned rest. Boudebouz, Camara and Hiljemark were the best playmakers with 8 assist each, while Bakambu owned the goal scoring. Notice Corchia stepped up to get 4 goals and 7 assists.

both from top-down and bottom-up simultaneously driving this process. So in 1930 Brazil has a brief civil war, one of the few moments of full scale violence in Brazilian politics. The political figure who comes to power is Getulio Vargas, who will dominate Brazilian politics for the next quarter-century. He's sort of Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Eisenhower all rolled into one. So what you get is the state explicitly, in the 1930s and 1940s, wants to forge a sense of Brazilian identity, wants to define what it is. So in a sense what they attempt to do is create rituals, create holidays, create all sorts of things that are part of this identity and some of them fail miserably. They created a thing called the Hour of Brazil on radio which is broadcast every evening and it's known as the hour that everyone turns off their radio. But on the other hand, Vargas looks at Rio and he says, look at this Carnaval thing, this is an incredible opportunity, let's standardise this, let's make this a showcase. So in this sense, Carnaval - in that moment, samba is just emerging as Brazilian music. ERIC VAN BEMMEL These had grass roots origins, of course. MARSHALL EAKIN Samba, basically, is a grass roots music that comes out of the slums of Rio, it's not a national music in Brazil. So both as people begin to play this, buy it, like it, listening to it on the radio, it becomes essential to Carnaval. | SP | SP IT | 3,307,935 |

Channing Tatum Backlash: Some Angered Over Sexiest Man Alive Honor Posted: November 17, 2012 Channing Tatum is seeing a backlash to his selection as People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive, as some critics feel the award is too narrow in who it selects. As The Daily Beast notes , critics have said the award generally goes to a certain stereotype -- white men. Writer Tricia Romano notes: "Tatum is part of a 26-year-long tradition of anointing square-jawed white men as the hottest in the land," she writes. "The one exception: when they chose a square-jawed black man -- Denzel Washington in 1996." She adds that there are African-American men inside the issue itself, but are "scattered throughout like chocolate sprinkles on a vanilla ice cream cone." Some are putting the criticism more squarely on Channing Tatum. Slate writer Amanda Hess says that the Sexiest Man Alive should "reflect our developing understanding of the sexual desires of women and gays." But then she adds some criticism of Tatum himself: "And what is going on in 2012? Our Sexiest Man is white. Straight. Ginormous. Frequently goateed. Wearing a white tank top in his cover photo. Yes, he can dance. But as a nation, we must ask: What is left of Channing Tatum's sex appeal after the final strains of Ginuwine's "Pony" recede?

Now since learning is nothing but imitation, it follows that the greatest ability and teachableness (capacity) regarded qu teachableness, cannot avail for genius. Even if a man thinks or invents for himself, and does not merely take in what others have taught, even if he discovers many things in art and science, this is not the right ground for calling such a (perhaps great) head, a genius (as opposed to him who because he can only learn and imitate is called a shallow-pate ). For even these things could be learned, they lie in the natural path of him who investigates and reflects according to rules; and they do not differ specifically from what can be acquired by industry through imitation. Thus we can readily learn all that Newton has set forth in his immortal work on the Principles of Natural Philosophy, however great a head was required to discover it; but we cannot learn to write spirited poetry, however express may be the precepts of the art and however excellent its models. The reason is that Newton could make all his steps, from the first elements of geometry to his own great and profound discoveries, intuitively plain and definite as regards consequence, not only to himself but to every one else.

How To Take Care Of Fine Persian Rugs Taking care of fine Persian rugs is absolutely crucial. With the money that you spend on Persian rugs, you can't afford to have issues. Sometimes, it may seem like no matter how much you work to take care of the rug itself, there are other elements that can wear down on your rug quite quickly. If you have atrium windows in your home, specifically in the same room as your fine Persian rug, you may notice that you have a problem much like other atrium window owners. The fact is that there are several atrium window problems that come with purchasing poor quality windows that can lead to damage to your Persian rug. Poor Vinyl Construction One of the biggest damages that can occur to your fine Persian rug happens when it is exposed to the elements. Atrium vinyl windows have problems that can often allow the natural elements like heat and humidity to get in and do severe damage to your fine Persian rug, as well as your other furniture. The water that can get in through poorly built atrium windows can cost you hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on your rug. Installation Issues If you're about to get atrium windows installed in your home, it's important that you remove your Persian rug to assure that damage doesn't occur.

The Montreal Impact Academy capped off a very encouraging year on Tuesday as some of its players were protagonists in a resounding 4-1 win against Fiorentina's prestigious academy. 2012-11-14 10:51:00 AM By Nick Sabetti FLORENCE, Italy -- As far as soccer goes in the Italian peninsula, if one wants to make a good impression, there's no better place than Coverciano, the headquarters of the Italian soccer federation. There, on Tuesday afternoon, the Montreal Impact not only beat Fiorentina's Academy squad 4-1, but also thoroughly outplayed them as well. The players that featured for Fiorentina were 3-5 years younger than the players of the Under-23 side that Mauro Biello put out from the start for the Impact, and that kind of age gap certainly played into Montreal's favour as the visitors bossed the game physically, but the younger Impact players definitely gave a good account of themselves. Academy midfielder Zakaria Messoudi was a standout player in the match as the Fiorentina players had a very difficult time containing him. When he's on his game, Messoudi's technical ability is a step above and he's definitely on track to getting himself a professional contract in the near future -- hopefully with the Impact. Recently promoted to the first team, Karl Ouimette also had an excellent game.

12.15.2009 Oral Roberts, one of the first of that particular breed of American holy roller/sociopaths to harness the power of television to share the word of God -- and make shitloads of money -- has died at 91. (New York Times) In the eighties, Roberts claimed that if he couldn't raise $8 million, "God would call him home." God called in that debt on Tuesday. We -- okay, I -- didn't think God was serious about it, but I guess you just never know people. Deities. Whatever. I can only imagine the kneecapping/waterboarding/nipple twisting poor Oral got for not coughing the money up sooner. By the way, I got this photo off of a blog called Pandagon, who used the picture of the statue in front of the Oral Roberts University (presumably of Roberts' own greasy, begging hands) to illustrate an article about the university. Pandagon claims the school is a veritable hotbead of greed, sexual abuse and other terribly sleazy things . I am shocked. Shocked. | NARRATIVE | null | 3,746,316 |
to do, what you've already done and/or what you're doing wrong in every situation. I hate it even more when people assume you want their opinion. If I didn't ask for your help, it means I don't want or need it, so please, keep your thoughts to yourself! I'm guilty of making snap judgements as I'm sure all of us are. It's in our nature. What matters most is what we choose to do with those judgements. Just last week, my kids and I were grocery shopping, and my youngest was throwing the tantrum of all tantrums. He wasn't touching things on shelves or throwing groceries like the child mentioned in this post, but he was screaming, flailing in my arms and nothing seemed to be working. Every attempt to calm him just made it worse, so I put him back in the cart, and let him work it out on his own. You wouldn't believe the reaction from the other customers! I expected some stares, eye rolls, some tsk-tsking and maybe a comment or two, but what happened was absolutely ridiculous. One woman, who was also shopping with her children, told me I had two choices: "Pick a GD bag of lettuce or get my psychotic child the F away from her." An elderly gentleman flat out asked me if I could just tell my son to shut up. Oh, wow, Sir! I never thought of that, thanks for the tip!....

the potential for detrimental environmental impacts resulting from their activities. According to LT, companies disclose environmental information to present a socially responsible image so that they can legitimise their behaviours to their stakeholder groups (see, for example, Buhr, 1998 ; Deegan, 2002 ; Neu et al. , 1998 ; O'Donovan, 2002 ). LT is based on the idea that a "social contract" exists between business and society. In LT, society is considered to allow companies to exist and have rights, and in return expects them to fulfil its expectations about how their operations should be conducted. Therefore, in order to survive a company must ensure that the activities it undertakes actually are or are perceived as being in accordance with the values and norms of society. When society's expectations are not fulfilled, that is, a company's actual or perceived behaviour is not in accordance with social values and norms, a breach of contract exists and a legitimacy gap may develop. Findings suggest that Cimpor changed environmental disclosure practices to manage its legitimacy which was threatened by the co-incineration controversy whereas Secil has not. The strategy adopted by Cimpor may be described as one of trivializing or skirting the issue, by not directly addressing the issue. Secil has directly addressed the issue since its inception. In the following section, the theoretical framework used is presented. The third section provides background information on the co-incineration controversy in Portugal. The fourth section outlines the research design and methodology. The fifth section presents the | IN | IN RA | 1,448,459 |

People are too scared to believe their own government would commit such atrocities, but it happens! Comment number 93. I did not read the report. Even if I had, I might not necessarily agree entirely with it. I've participated in engineering peer reviews and dissented from other peoples' designs and analysis on numerous occasions based on my training and experience. The temperature of the steel would not have had to reach 2950 or even 1400 degrees. Even just the girders softening enough to buckle under the structural loading of the concrete deck above and cause lateral stability they provided to fail could have been sufficient to cause the collapse. Under the weight of evidence, a conspiracy theory is the least plausible explanation no matter how hard those who want to find one argue for it. The more I think about it, at least the evidence for the melted and/or vaporized steel having resulted from an electrical short circuit seems almost certain. I hope some consideration of this was given in the analysis and report. Only a high temperature incendiary such as thermite could have caused that effect from sabotage and that is not the material of choice for controlled demolition of a building.

allowed to enter mosques, together with their men or alone? In nut shell, are you willing to accept that anything of conservative Islam needs to be reinterpreted? I am afraid not. All the other religions have changed, except THE ONE. Dalei lam once said that if he has to choose between scientific knowledge and his faith, he will choose the science. Brave man. he has not been killed yet from fanatics. A muslim saying that will have difficulties to live peacefully. I should know. "We are witnessing a reversion to the type of cultural essentialism that dominated political and academic discourse until the mid-1900s. Its central theme, the purity and superiority of European culture, was dealt a powerful blow by the tradition of post-colonial studies and radical critique of Orientalism." Perhaps all we are witnessing is the Western tradition finally beginning to get its nerve back. Because, almost uniquely, Western scientific, philosophical, and even religious thought has developed powerful mechanisms of self-criticism (the very thing that has made progress possible) it was always going to be vulnerable to sustained assault on its own ground. The very weapons that once were trained on backwardness and superstition in Europe and beyond came close, in the discourses of postmodernism and multi-culturalism, to enabling the suicide of liberal civilisation.

Would prefer a smaller, more futuristic looking weapon though, like the male security troops used, e.g. a sleek, sci-fi rifle about that length, but with a silencer on the end of the barrel. Oh and I would also prefer a little smaller gun on the "cheeky girl", especially given she's supposed to be more @ near future than @ space opera (tho, in the really far future it's just as likely that the guns would be much smaller or even not appear like guns at all but yes I do know why they must be big and gun-like on a miniature). | ID | ID | 362,458 |

is unfair should be decided on a case by case basis. The mere fact of a holiday shift is not, to me, inherently unfair. I don't have to work on Thanksgiving (good old office 8-5 job), but I think that the folks from the head offices of Target and Walmart should be in the stores on Thanksgiving, working. If you are going to tell your employees that they have to work on what has traditionally been a family holiday, management should darn well be there too, not sitting at home digesting turkey while watching football. Essential industries like hospitals, police etc. *need* to be open. To some extent, so do places like drugstores and grocery stores. And restaurants - serving food is kinda what they do, so while it sucks to work that day, I would hope that most patrons recognize that and tip, heavily. But fuckitall, nobody needs to buy a big-screen TV at 90% off at midnight on Thanksgiving day. Having only worked four months out of the past year, any time they want to pay me cash dollars to sit here in this chair and wait for something to break, I'm good. Somebody's got to do it, might'swell be me. Then again, I have no friends or family with which to share Thanksgiving or Christmas, so I might be biased.

in too hard your days are probably going to be numbered. I think it's better to expect fair treatment, but if that doesnt get you anywhere youve got to give in and just leave on your terms when you find something better. I've seen people far too many times take a hard stand and end up getting blindsided by either being fired or forced out. I'd much rather be in control of when I leave. 100% right. The day you refuse work (as opposed to talking it out and trying to come to a different resolution) is the day your boss starts thinking about whether she still wants you on her team. Because as unreasonable as your boss might be being, she thinks it's an acceptable request. You can still leave over it -- but as Joey says, do it on your own terms, not theirs. In a previous (dysfunctional workplace) job, where people got away with murder as long as they were charming, there was a particular department who, every month without fail, would sit on completing reports until after the last minute, which would then be dumped on me to be processed immediately. My boss walked in with the stack of reports one day and told me she needed it processed that day.

Event: football Most enviable body part: bum Ellan White, part of the Women's National Team, uses a lot of lateral and power moves to help get the ball into the goal area and lift and shape her derriere. This booty lifting and bottom shaping routine, inspired by football drills, will help you lift your cheeks to a gold-medal level in no time. The football workout How it works: Do each move back to back with little rest in between, and work up to doing three full round of this circuit in total. Side-to-side shift Guard your goal with this side-to-side power drill that's a cardio burst, hip and glutes shaper all in one! To do: Start standing with your feet together arms by your sides. Quickly take a wide step out to your left, shifting your weight into your left foot, lift your right foot off the floor and extend your right leg out to the side (almost straight, knee stays slightly bent). As you extend, bend your left knee, push your hips behind you and swing your right arm out front and your left arm back (elbows bent, hands in fists). Next, quickly step your right leg down and repeat the move to the other side. Repeat as many times as you can for 30 seconds. Side lunge push off Side lunges are terrific your targeting the glutes, and this power combo adds in an extra push - without a lot of impact - to both lift and tone | HI | HI HT | 18,611 |

512 bytes of the hard disk (e.g. first 512 bytes of /dev/hda) and contains the partition table. There is one MBR per hard disk. Only the first 446 bytes of the MBR contain booting code; the remaining bytes are the partition table. Thus the first 446 bytes of the MBR can be copied from the old disk to the new disk, since MBR code is quite generic (e.g. stock DOS/Windows). The famous DOS "FDISK /MBR" command just overwrites the first 446 bytes of the disk with a stock MBR. Partition table: a listing of all the partitions on the disk, including extended partitions (containing logical drives). The partition table provides the essential mapping of partitions to locations on the disk. The partition table is independent of actual disk contents, but without the correct mapping your disk is unreadable. It is a bad idea to copy partition tables between disks since any difference in partition size or layout will render the copy useless. Note that the partition table is stored within the 512 bytes of the MBR. Boot sector(s): Contains code that starts the operating system, the first 512 bytes of each partition. While there is only one MBR per disk, there is a boot sector for each partition (e.g. /dev/hda1). Dual boot installations typically rely on a boot menu selector pointing towards one of several boot sectors. With multiple operating systems on a single disk, each operating system will have its own boot sector on its own partition. Backing up | HI | HI HT | 702,411 |

Allowed Japanese internment. Corporatism in the early New deal (esp. NIRA). But there is also so much good: Lend-lease kept UK in war. Managed coalition warfare among the Allies. Won the war. Set stage for post-war American dominance. Ended racial discrimination in federal government hiring and thus helped set the stage for successful civil rights movement. John Adams: At this point, you start getting into the territory where candidates have some serious warts. E.g., the Alien & Sedition Act. On the plus side, he managed the crisis with France despite a telling lack of support from either major party or his own cabinet. And he helped set the precedent for peaceful transition of power between Presidents of opposing parties. James Polk: Reduced tariffs. Managed the Fifty-four forty or fight crisis to a peaceful resolution. Won the Mexican war, annexing Nevada and California. Second only to Jefferson in the amount of territory he added to USA. Andrew Jackson: Speaking of warts, the Indian Removal Act remains a blot on the national escutcheon. On the plus side, there was the veto of the rechartering of the Bank of the United States.
