The report also addresses the topic of outsourcing in May; 39 percent of individuals polled felt that the most important thing the government should to do to prevent IT outsourcing is offer subsidies and tax incentives for companies that keep jobs in the United States. |
Twenty-three percent felt that the government should implement more stringent trade rules and tariffs for sending work overseas, 22 percent felt that the government should create more funding and scholarship programs for IT workers and students, and 18 percent felt that the number of available H-1B visas should be redu... |

IronMan Cory Hill and IronWoman Devon Halligan have both been ruled out of competition for round three of the Kellogg’s Nutri-Grain IronMan Series and Telstra IronWoman Series due to health concerns. |
The young aspiring athletes, coincidently both number 11, have been fighting ongoing health conditions and are advised not to compete in Portsea this Sunday. |
IronMan Cory Hill from Northcliffe Surf Life Saving Club has been diagnosed with osteomyelitis, an infection of the bone or bone marrow, and is instructed to remain on a 24-hour intravenous drip. |
“The doctors believe it is osteomyelitis, but my symptoms are a little different,” Mr Hill said. |
“The oral antibiotics didn’t seem to be working so they have hooked me up to a 24-hour intravenous drip that pumps antibiotics into my arm and through to my heart. |
20-year-old IronWoman Devon Halligan is a first time absentee from the series due to an ongoing heart infection. |
The Gold Coast local will be watching the series from home this weekend while she rests up in preparation for round 4 of the series at Surfers Paradise. |
IronMan Series director Guy Leech said he was disappointed for the young athletes. |
Sunday’s racing will be televised nationally on Network Ten from 2:00pm to 5:00pm AEDST, with replays on One HD (check local guides). Portsea on the Mornington Penninsula, is renowned as carnage central, producing the biggest waves in the coldest waters. |
U.S. President Barack Obama's administration has upheld an import ban on some older-model Samsung Electronics smartphones and tablets after the U.S. International Trade Commission determined they infringed Apple patents. |
The Obama administration "remains committed to advancing innovation and economic progress in the United States and globally," he said. "Consistent with that policy, ensuring adequate and effective protection of intellectual property rights, including enforcement of such rights at the U.S. border through exclusion order... |
The import ban will have a "minimal effect" on the availability of Samsung products, because Samsung has made changes to its products to avoid infringing the two Apple patents, the USTR said. |
The USITC's order notes that any devices that include design-around technologies are not covered by the ban. Concerns about the scope of the order do not "provide a policy basis for disapproving it," Froman said. |
A Samsung representative did not immediately respond to a request for a comment on Froman's decision. |
Christian philosopher Peter Kreeft once said, "A measure of your insanity is the size of the gap between what you think you are and what you really are." Certainly this is true. Still, it might also be said that the greatest measure of one's insanity is the size of the gap between who we think Christ is and who he rea... |
No other human being can compare to Christ. Without question, His solitary life altered the entire world. A preacher of yesteryear said the words of Pontius Pilate concerning Christ were "the verdict of the ages." Pilate said, 'I find no fault in this just man.' Who can legitimately find any fault in Jesus? |
Nevertheless, human nature is such that we tend to tear down the sublime. For some, the life of Jesus inspires regeneration. It softens. It is the strongest incentive to the highest patterns of virtue. For others, however, the purity of Jesus' words and actions bring conviction, a revelation of their corruptions. Inste... |
They seek to redefine Him. They cannot fault Him. So rather than be changed by Him, they would change Him. Rather than have His image stamped on their spirits, they would impose their own on His. |
There is no better modern example of this phenomenon than "Black Jesus," the new late night programming on the Cartoon Network, known as Adult Swim. "Black Jesus" portrays Christ as a black man "living in the hood" with a small band of followers. Set in Compton Gardens, Jesus uses profanity – rank profanity. Jesus smok... |
Nevertheless, "Black Jesus" is an extreme example. There are still milder ways Jesus is made to fit the times, or revamped to suit our tastes. |
For most, today's Jesus would never get angry and throw over the money changers' tables and cleanse the Temple. Instead, today's Jesus would always be meek and mild, even in the face of gross and flagrant sin. Today's Jesus would never speak of a place like Hell, for surely God would never send anyone to such a horribl... |
There is only one problem with today's Jesus, He's the one we've reinvented to appease us. He's not the Jesus described in Scripture. |
At times, Jesus possessed a righteous indignation toward sin. He actually spoke more about Hell than He did Heaven. He certainly spoke of peace and love, but He also warned that His way would divide even family members. He never said that there were many ways to God. He said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No ... |
The apostle John describes the problem so many have with Jesus. He writes, "And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil" (John 3:19). The point of the apostle's statement is that men and women are so inherently vile that th... |
Indeed, He did not. There is no one like Jesus. He is the God-man, spotless and without blemish, the Savior of the world and the very Judge of the soul. And there is no greater measure of one's insanity than the size of the gap between who we may think He is and who Jesus really is. |

ALCOHOL-FUELLED crime on ScotRail trains has fallen by one-third compared to the same period last year, when the ban on drinking alcohol on evening and early morning services came into force. |
The latest figures show that British Transport Police were called to deal with 43 alcohol-related crimes on the company's trains in the six months to the end of October this year, compared to 66 for the same period in 2012. |
However, while the total number of drink-related offences is down by 34% year-on-year, the number of assaults linked to alcohol has barely changed - going from nine in the period from May 1 to October 31 last year to eight for the same six months this year. |
The bulk of offences were minor public order incidents, such as threatening and abusive behaviour or being drunk and incapable. These fell from 55 to 30 year-on-year. |
However, it appears that staff working in railway stations have seen less of a benefit from the ban, with non-train alcohol offences actually increasing 7% from 168 to 180. These included 20 assaults and 140 minor public order incidents. |
A spokesman for RMT, which represents rail workers, welcomed the decline in alcohol-related crime on trains. He said: "If the net effect has been a decline in alcohol-related crimes then that's a good thing. |
"I would wonder whether the lack of Old Firm matches has played a part in it. It'd be interesting to know what effect that has had and what happens when they do come back. |
"Most of the incidents our staff deal with are pretty run-of-the-mill - drunk people swearing at staff, being abusive and so on. But we are seeing fewer people taking bottles on board the trains." |
One Saturday in December saw around one-dozen incidents reported to police by members across Scotland, he said. |
They included two drunk females swearing at staff in Argyle Street station in Glasgow, a male passenger assaulted on a train at Uphall and a drunk and incapable female at Edinburgh Waverley station. There was also an ambulance requested for a drunk male with a facial injury in Glasgow, a male behaving "inappropriately"... |
The spokesman said that these incidents were "all depressingly familiar". However, he said there were "no assaults with weapons, which is good". |
ScotRail is responsible for 95% of train services in Scotland, running 2000 routes a day. It launched its ban on July 20 last year, with the sale and consumption of alcohol on board forbidden between 9pm and 10am. Drunk passengers can also be prevented from boarding. |
British Transport Police said it was confident that the travelling public were safer than ever. |
They point to overall crime figures - not restricted to those which are alcohol-related - which show that total violent offences dropped by 15%, from 197 in the six months to the end of October 2012 to 167 for the same six-month period this year. |
Anti-social behaviour offences have fallen 56% in the last ten years, while total recorded crime has halved despite a growth in passenger numbers of 36%. |
Chief Superintendent Ellie Bird, divisional commander for BTP in Scotland, said: "The figures represent less than one alcohol-related incident per day across the whole of the Scottish rail network. |
"It is worth noting that with passenger figures in excess of 83 million British Transport Police has delivered a further reduction in crime and offences on the network for a ninth consecutive year. So the chance of becoming a victim of crime on Scotland's railway remains very low." |
Steve Montgomery, ScotRail's managing director, said: "These new figures show our pioneering alcohol ban is making a real difference in creating an ever safer and friendlier environment for customers using Scotland's railways. |
"It is particularly pleasing that offences on trains have dropped by more than a third while passenger numbers continue to grow." |
Robert Samson, of commuters' champion Passenger Focus, added: "This small improvement in the crime figures will be welcomed by passengers. However, we know they want to see the continuation of both a visible staff and police presence at stations and on trains." |

The Transportation Security Administration has extended the deadline by which states must implement regulations requiring truck drivers with hazmat endorsements to be fingerprinted. |
That could be good news – however, some worry about plans still under consideration that could involve private companies – such as members of Natso, which represents truck stops and travel plazas, the American Trucking Association and USIS (which has acquired DAC Services) – in the collection and dissemination of priva... |
Meanwhile, OOIDA plans to communicate with TSA too. |
"We're extremely concerned about the security of the information drivers would have to provide to these private companies," OOIDA President Jim Johnston said. "When you give a fingerprint, you've also got to provide a lot of other information. For example, what driver would want a truck stop employee jotting down a CDL... |
An informal online discussion of several OOIDA members suggest that most would prefer to be fingerprinted in their own community, which would benefit from related fees. Most want to go to either the local sheriff’s office or the department of motor vehicles. |
Others worry about identity theft, and add that it’s preposterous to expect truck stop workers, many of whom can’t keep fuel islands running properly, to handle fingerprinting. |
TSA had extended an old Nov. 3, 2003, deadline to April 1, 2004. But now TSA tells Land Line that if states need more time, they must request an extension before April 1. That request would give states until Dec. 1, 2004, to comply. |
The Patriot Act calls on the Department of Homeland Security to fingerprint the nation’s hazmat drivers and provide those fingerprints to the FBI’s national data bank. States must submit a plan outlining the fingerprint process consistent with the FBI’s collection and submission procedures – but most states have not do... |
As reported by Land Line, TSA could end up approving plans that would let truck stops conduct the fingerprinting. This potentially would involve the American Trucking Association and other groups. |
Meanwhile, William Fay, Natso’s president and CEO, told Land Line his organization’s goal is to “make it easier on truckers. We’re very patriotic, just like truckers, but we don’t want to appear to be their Big Brother.” Natso represents about 1,100 truck stop and travel plaza facilities. |
Natso anticipates a partnership with the National Air Transportation Association and the trucking industry to establish truck stops and travel plazas as fingerprint collection points for truckers. NATA would provide the technology required to fingerprint truckers, while Natso members would be paid a fee for each finger... |
The cost to an owner-operator, according to Fay, would be less than $100. Natso will soon announce the location of a pilot program at a Pennsylvania stop where three employees have been trained to take the fingerprints and send them to FBI officials. |

US President Barack Obama has promoted Department of Health and Human Services chief technology officer Todd Park to a whole-of-government role, six weeks after the sudden departure of predecessor Aneesh Chopra. |
Park will replace Chopra as federal CTO as well as temporary associate director of technology in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. |
Both jobs report to John Holdren, presidential science adviser and director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy. |
He had served as CTO for the health department since August 2009, where he was credited with advancing data, technology and innovation efforts. It included the creation of HealthCare.gov, a public website which offers consumers a listing of public and private health insurance plans. |
"Todd Park has demonstrated a remarkable talent for enlisting innovative technologies to modernize government, reduce waste and make government information more accessible to the public," Obama said in announcing his appointment. |
In his new position, Park will have "the important task of applying the newest technology and latest advances to make the federal government work better for the American people," Holdren said in announcing Park's appointment on his White House blog. |
Park's predecessor Chopra said that in his CTO role he would "emphasize a research program on ‘game-changing' ideas in cyber security, to find new ideas that might transform the nation's information infrastructure to be more secure and simpler to understand and use". |
Chopra resigned without disclosing reasons at the end of January, several months after a similar departure by federal CIO, Vivek Kundra. He was replaced in August by former regulator, Steven VanRoekel. |
Coshocton County led the state with 6,040 deer checked and the numbers weren't real close after that. |
The final numbers are in and, while they're down, hunters still checked 172,040 white-tailed deer throughout Ohio’s 2018-19 deer season, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. |
Tuscarawas County finished second with 5,221 and Ashtabula County was third at 4,884. |
There were 3,916 deer checked in Holmes County, while Carroll County had 3,465 and Harrison 3,198. |
Numbers were down statewide, however. During the 2017-18 season, 186,247 deer were checked statewide. |
Coshocton had 6,559 during that time, while Tuscarawas had 5,772. Holmes County hunters tagged 4,108 last year, while Carroll did 3,935 and Harrison 3,674. |
A huge South African Airways tender, worth at least R10-billion, appears to be at the heart of the destructive battle to control the airline's board and executive. |
And questions have been raised about how an extraordinary meeting held in Johannesburg at the Saxonwold compound of the Gupta family – involving the airline's acting chief executive as well as the special adviser to Minister of Public Enterprises Malusi Gigaba – fed into that battle. |
