Workplace law protections split groups
New federal anti-discrimination laws need a provision to stop bosses from sacking domestic violence victims because of aggressive acts by a partner or family member, a Senate committee has been told.
Anna Davis, a co-ordinator of the Northern Territory Working Women's Centre, asked the senators to consider the case of "Mary", who lost her job after her former partner turned up at her workplace.
"We believe the law is currently failing women like Mary," Ms Davis told the committee hearing in Melbourne on Wednesday.
Having protections enshrined in law would help deter employers from terminating the jobs of such vulnerable workers, she said at the committee's first public hearing on the government's draft of the Human Rights and Anti-Discrimination Bill 2012.
Victims of family violence - mostly women - were also being turned away from housing because of the actions of violent partners or ex-partners, the committee was told.
The Human Rights Law Centre and the Public Interest Law Clearing House (PILCH) have welcomed the draft legislation, which aims to consolidate five existing statutes covering age, disability, race, sex and other forms of discrimination into a single statute.
But the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry said it did not achieve its first aim of rolling existing laws into one and would be a burden for business.
"It is a misnomer to characterise the current exposure draft as consolidating existing statutes," ACCI's director of workplace policy and legal affairs Daniel Mammone told the committee.
He said the changes would increase costs for firms who had to update their policies and retrain staff.
The committee received 590 submissions on the draft legislation, which is intended to consolidate and simplify the laws.
The Institute of Public Affairs (IPA) says in its submission the bill represented a "dramatic and radical attack" on Australians' fundamental human rights.
"The draft bill would politicise and regulate private interpersonal relationships in a way they never have been in Australia," the think tank said.
Shadow attorney-general George Brandis was concerned it wasn't an anti-discrimination law but was packaged as one.
"It overreaches ... it is really a law against controversy," he told the hearing.
Australian Industry Group chief executive, Innes Willox, said real discrimination had to be removed from workplaces but a "competition of ideas" had to be encouraged.
"The last thing employers need is for legitimate internal debate to be stilted and sterilised and replaced by fear of complaint and political correctness coming to the fore," Mr Willox said in an opinion piece in The Australian on Wednesday.

You can plug four to eight Lasso external R600 cards and make them render all together. We found a few details about the external R600 Lasso system. You can connect them via external PCIe. R600 lasso works with uses external PCIe and my old folk on the inq wrote about it here.
ATI is also thinking about separate housing for more R600 cards to render in Crossfire. We heard the number of four to eight cards is possible.
Our sources confirm that you will be able to connect the cards via External PCIe. The part we don't understand is where you plug such a card. The closest to a reasonable explanation Is Nvidia's Quadro Plex box with bunch of cards. You can take a look Nvidia's PDF here.
You still end up with an internal PCIe interface card that will connect the Lasso cards. Lasso interface card should let you plug four to eight R600 cards in its own housing, just as Nvidia did with Quadro Plex box but this is only for the rendering market and it is very expensive.

"Meet The Redskin Coaches"May 28, 2009
Head Coach Jim Zorn: After originally being hired as offensive coordinator, Jim Zorn became the Washington Redskins 27 th Head Coach on February 9, 2008. Zorn was formerly a quarterbacks coach with the Seattle Seahawks from 2001-2007, he helped the ascension of Matt Hasselbeck to becoming one of the NFC's elite quarterbacks. Along with being the Head Coach Zorn is also quarterbacks coach and play caller, many feel Zorn is wearing too many hats. Zorn was also a Pro quarterback from 1976 to 1987, he spent most of his time in Seattle where he was first team all pro in 1978.
Greg Blache Defensive Coordinator: Greg Blache replaced Greg Williams as Defensive Coordinator following the 2007 season, in his first season the Redskins finished 4th in total defense. Blache's defenses have been known for creating pressure through his various blitz packages, before joining the Redskins Blache spent 5 seasons as Defensive Coordinator of the Chicago Bears. Blache calls all the defensive plays for the Redskins. During the time that Blache has spent with the Redskins only once in 5 seasons has their defense finished outside the top 10 in total defense.
Joe Bugel Offensive Line Coach: Joe Bugel rejoined the Redskins in 2004 assuming the position that he held from 1981-89. Bugel was the architech of the famed "Hogs" which helped the Redskins win two Super Bowls in the 80's. During Bugel's second stint the Redskins have had a 1000 yard rusher each season, and have finished in the top 8 in total rushing three times. During his 31 years in the NFL, Bugel has been a Head Coach twice Phoenix Cardinals 1990-93 and the Oakland Raiders in 1997.
Sherman Smith Offensive Coordinator: Sherman joined the Redskin staff in 2008, Smith works with Jim Zorn in the developing of the offensive game plan. Zorn and Smith were teammates with Seahawks from 1976-82. Before joining the Redskins Smith spent 13 seasons as running backs coach with Tennessee Titans. Eddie George flourished under Smith rushing for over 10,000 yards for his career.

AbstractWe analyze the point-group symmetries of generic multiband tight-binding models with respect to the transformation properties of the effective interactions. While the vertex functions in the orbital language may transform non-trivially under point-group operations, their point-group behavior in the band language can be simplified by choosing a suitable Bloch basis. We first give two analytically accessible examples. Then, we show that, for a large class of models, a natural Bloch basis exists, in which the vertex functions in the band language transform trivially under all point-group operations. As a consequence, the point-group symmetries can be used to reduce the computational effort in perturbative many-particle approaches, such as the functional renormalization group. View Full-Text

Stop and think about the cavalcade of mass monsters who have marched right off into oblivion, for no other reason than they lacked a good set of abs. They may have drawn swoons for their freaky arms or freaky legs or freaky something else, but in a lineup, elbow to elbow with a proportioned pro whose hallmark is a popping, polished and deep-hewn midsection, their magnitude draws nothing more than a yawn. Had they recognized that abdominals are the classiest of all bodyparts and, as such, need as much attention as marquee muscle groups, or if they had the guts to train them hard, they'd have a complete physique and a legitimate claim as muscle freaks. As it is, they remain incomplete.
Don't make the same mistake. If your abdominals are under par, I have a crash program that can get them sleek and chiseled in six weeks flat. First, though, a qualifier: This is not a start-from-scratch program. No matter how intense and effective the crash course, you can't expect dramatic results unless you've been bodybuilding for many months. In fact, I'd say give it a year.
A respectable foundation of muscle must already be in place, along with sufficiently low bodyfat to let your abs show when they're ready. On the other hand, time and good abs wait for no one, so dive in!
This program is a sequence of three two-week phases. The same exercises, as well as their order, are used throughout the entire six weeks, but each successive phase becomes more difficult by adding sets and weight (see "The Workouts" chart).
Program Tips
- In phase one (the first two weeks), train your abs three times a week: on legs day, back day and on a third day by themselves.
- In phases two and three (weeks three through six), train abs four times a week: legs day, back day, plus two other days by themselves.
- In phase three (weeks five and six), add weight. For situps, hold a weight plate on your chest. For straight-leg raises and knee raises, hold a dumbbell between your feet.
- Train abs first in any workout, so they stretch, loosen and warm up the entire body, as well as pump your lower back to relieve pressure from heavy lifts.
- Stay in a repetition range of 15 to 20, but do not go to failure on your first set or you will not be able to complete all the reps in successive sets. I like getting in all of my reps; if I want to increase resistance, I slow the pace and get more of a squeeze out of each rep.
- Make each rep the most important rep you will ever do, as if that specific rep will instantaneously bring out the six-pack of your dreams. Think to yourself, Each rep is the only rep.
- Continuously challenge yourself with more sets and more weight. Do not stay in any phase longer than two weeks; go to the next as soon as you think you're ready.
Decline situps
These are performed on a decline bench. Keep your upper body straight. Place your hands behind your head, but do not use your hands to pull your head forward. Keep your elbows pointed outward. Raise your upper body as if your chin is being lifted straight up toward the ceiling. Do not bend your neck or roll your shoulders forward. To maintain tension on your abs, do not sit up all the way. Likewise, do not lower your back to a resting point. Keep your motion smooth and steady. Do not bounce or jerk.
Straight-leg raises
Note that these are leg raises, not hip raises. Keep your hips stationary by lifting only your legs; do not push your hips upward. Raise your legs only to horizontal, and do not lower them all the way to the bottom; maintain tension on your lower abs. Do not swing or bounce, and do not arch your back.
Knee raises
Sit on the edge of a bench, bracing yourself with your hands. Stabilize your head, arms, shoulders and torso into a single bodypart that bends only at your waist, then squeeze your knees into your chest as you bring your upper body forward to meet them for a butterfly effect. Do not allow your shoulders or back to roll forward. Maintain continuous tension. As you extend your legs, do not tilt your upper body backward to the point where stress is relieved from your abdominals.
If you follow this program, rep-by-rep and week-by-week, you will transform your midsection into the chiseled entity that was once but a dream.
While performing a rep, I'm thinking about being onstage, standing there in full display to an audience of thousands, and my abs are, like, bam! - hitting everyone in the face. My abs are the first thing the crowd sees, and their jaws are dropping, and they're gasping, "Wow!" Then they're looking at the rest of my body to see how it matches up with my abs. That's the effect that goes through my mind as I'm squeezing out every rep. I'm trying to get that dialed-in detailed look, so that everything flows in my physique. Every rep, I'm thinking perfect abs - perfect abs - perfect abs. I believe that if, with every rep, you train to see it that way, it will happen.

Great, Stephane - thanks for clarifying that - this is helpful. We have a certain set of data fields for each record but the mDirectory is a database and listing, not a methodology for helping people chose the right tools. It;s simply information about tools with specific data points and our own classification scheme based on features, platforms, countries deployed, and target issue areas. That said, we are publishing more and more tool comparison matrices - mhealth in a box will be the next one that we are releasing shortly that are not just descriptive but analytical. These matrices are not evaluative per se as needs and goals of organizations in our network vary greatly, but help organizations navigate comparable tools by delving deeper into functions and features. Looking forward to this conversation - this could be very useful all around. Katrin On Jul 29, 2010, at 3:21 PM, Stephane Boyera wrote: > Collaboration is obviously welcome.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A middle school soccer coach in Nashville has been arrested on rape charges involving a teenage girl.
Metro police arrested 46-year-old Harpeth Hall middle school coach George "Rico" Laise on Tuesday on two counts of statutory rape by an authority figure and two counts of rape involving a victim with a mental incapacity.
The Tennessean reports police said the girl, who was 16 at the time, played on a traveling team coached by Laise and suffered a concussion at a match in Las Vegas last year.
Police said their relationship occurred while she was still suffering results of the concussion.

TOP international acts such as Pink and One Direction and major NRL games could all come to Penrith if funding is approved for a new stadium.
Funds could flow from a strategy announced by the state government to fund the development of sporting and entertainment facilities across Sydney.
Panthers have been involved in separate discussions with Penrith Council to redevelop Sportingbet Stadium as a third major Sydney arena.
The venue, which could include a retractable roof and up to 35,000 seats, would be used by NRL and other local sporting teams and could host concerts and major events.
Penrith Panthers group chief executive Warren Wilson said Penrith was the perfect location for such a stadium..
"Penrith is geographically in the centre of the west and takes care of anything in the mountains as well as the south-west and the north-west. All those distances are the same time away from Penrith.
"We already have a railway and a freeway which is a kilometre away from where the stadium could be built."
Panthers management has already held discussions with local MPs to discuss the stadium as well as other infrastructure upgrades.
Mr Wilson said the new stadium could have a "little brother/big brother" partnership with ANZ Stadium at Sydney Olympic Park.
"If Penrith is leading the competition and Parramatta is coming second — and if we think the crowd is going to be 50,000 — then the NRL would schedule the game at the 'big brother' stadium [ANZ Stadium]," he said. "If we think there are only going to be 20,000 then the NRL will schedule the game at the 'little brother' stadium".
Panthers and the council have funded a Deloitte Access Economics study to establish a case for a tier-two stadium in Penrith.
It covers the economic and social benefits and future demand for quality sporting and entertainment facilities and infrastructure in line with Penrith's growing role as a major regional centre.
Penrith mayor Ross Fowler said a project of that size could deliver huge economic benefits to the area.
He said Penrith had a strong case.
"It will require a lot more discussion about scale, location, breadth of activities, funding and government support," Cr Fowler said.

An arcing power line briefly threatened a fire crew battling a 10-acre brush blaze in the Santa Ana River wash near Orange Street and Greenspot Road Thursday morning to 10 acres of brush, officials said.
The fire was reported around 11 a.m., and estimated 20 mph winds — as well as unseasonally warm temperatures and single digit humidity — helped the fire to quickly grow to 5 acres and then doubled to 10 within an hour, Baker said.
The blaze was contained when crews spotted the power line — which sparked a second fire.
Firefighters snuffed out the second fire and Southern California Edison was called to shut down power.
RELATED: Live coverage of multiple wildfires burning in Southern California right now
Fifty firefighters from the Redlands Fire Department, Cal Fire, county fire, San Manuel, Highland, Bureau of Land Management battled the blaze, as did San Bernardino County Helicopter 306, officials said.
No structures are being threatened and the cause of the fire is under investigation. Orange Street was closed to traffic for a time but re-opened about 2 p.m. Thursday.

Last week, Boston Properties Inc (BXP) announced that it has completed the acquisition of a development site – 535 Mission Street – in San Francisco, Calif. from Beacon Capital Partners. The $71.0 million deal will facilitate Boston Properties to boost its presence in the San Francisco region. Notably, the acquisition price includes the cost of curtain wall and other buildings materials that Beacon Capital purchased 5 years ago.
The real estate investment trust (:REIT) expects to commence working on the project in the middle of this month. The project, which is anticipated to be finished by fall 2014, will carry an anticipated total cost of roughly $215 million.
Boston Properties expects to construct a 27-story, 378 foot tall Class A office tower at 535 Mission Street. The property, which will comprise approximately 307,000 square feet of rentable office and retail space, is expected to attain a LEED Gold label. The property will be positioned in one of the most attractive submarkets of San Francisco, which boasts a cluster of office and technology occupant.
According to CBRE Group Inc. (CBG), San Francisco remained one of the top office markets among the 30 most desirable office markets in the U.S. during the fourth quarter of 2012. Strong demand from the technology sector resulted in strong leasing activity and represented 55% of the downtown market's 10.9 million square feet of leasing activity.
Also, the occupancy at downtown the San Francisco market and suburbs dipped 170 bps (basis points) and 20 bps, respectively. Thus, San Francisco office rents jumped 27.2% year over year during the quarter. These factors justify Boston Properties' decision to expand its reach in the San Francisco market.
In addition to the abovementioned transaction, Boston Properties stated that it has inked a deal to buy the last remaining parcel of land in center of Reston Town Center in Va. for around $27 million. The land parcel is commercially zoned for office space, spanning 250,000 square feet.
However, Boston Properties is planning to use the land for mixed-use development plan, which may possibly include residential as well as commercial properties. The transaction is expected to close within the first quarter of 2013, subject to customary closing conditions.
The company mainly concentrates on a few selected high-rent, high barrier-to-entry geographic markets for acquisition and development purposes. We expect both the transactions to help the company maintain a strong grip on the vibrant markets and provide an upside potential for growth going forward.
Last month, Boston Properties reported strong fourth quarter 2012 results with FFO (funds from operations) per share of $1.27, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3 cents. The impressive results was consistent with its strong leasing activity and joint venture deals.
Boston Properties currently holds a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Other REITs that are performing better than the company include Ventas Inc. (VTR) and Simon Property Group Inc. (SPG). Both of these stocks carry a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
Note: Fund from operations, a widely used metric to gauge the performance of REITs, is obtained after adding depreciation and amortization and other non-cash expenses to net income.

Do not back up files to the same hard disk that Windows is installed on. For example, do not back up files to a recovery partition. Always store media used for backups (external hard disks, DVDs, or CDs) in a secure place to prevent unauthorized people from having access to your files; a fireproof location separate from your computer is recommended. You might also consider encrypting the data on your backup.
To create a system image of a drive, it must be formatted to use the NTFS file system. If you save the system image on a hard drive or USB flash drive, it must be formatted to use the NTFS file system.
If you're searching for files or folders associated with a specific user account, you can improve search results by typing the location of the file or folder in the Search for box. For example, to search for all JPG files that were backed up, type JPG in the Search for box. To only search for JPG files associated with the user Bill, type C:\Users\Bill\JPG in the Search for box.
You can use wildcard characters such as *.jpg to search for all JPG files that were backed up.

Genre: Action/Thriller
Won Academy Awards for Best Sound Effects Editing and Best Sound. Nomination for Best Film Editing.
|If you're looking for a cinematic experience that will give you a pure adrenaline rush, you won't do better than SPEED. It's a high-concept film that could have gone very wrong, but it perfectly walks the tightrope between believable and absurd while keeping you on the edge of your seat. Given the plot bomb on a bus which can't slow down great acting isn't expected or even needed, yet Reeves gives one of his best performances as the LAPD cop trying to keep both the bus passengers and random bystanders alive. His character's stoic, man-of-action persona works to his advantage, keeping the dialogue to a minimum while still giving him plenty to do. In this instance, his lack of energy brings us sense of calm into the storm. In her first major role, Bullock literally takes the wheel and steals the show. She brings class and comedy to the proceedings, making you truly care about her character's immediate future. I was extremely skeptical about this film when I first heard about it. How interesting can a film be that merely follows a speeding bus around Los Angeles for 2 hours? Well, the subplot surrounding the wack job, played by Hopper, who caused the problem in the first place is quite intricate and well-written, considering the talent involved. It's no DIE HARD, but it makes for interesting filler when the film steps back from the antics with the bus. The real stars here are the action sequences, which are very well-crafted and highly imaginable considering the limitations of the plot. It can't have been easy to dream up exciting and dangerous scenes with a bus that were still realistic. This film goes to show you what great effects and outstanding film editing can bring to an average script. In this case, they make an eminently fun summer flick.

I'll start with a few updates about fundraising for Maxie's Forest. Our t-shirt project raised $1450, which is a whole lot of moolah! So, thank you to everyone who bought a t-shirt. If you for any reason just have not found the time to drop the check in the mail for the t-shirt that we sent you, we are still accepting payments so please don't be shy. We hope you will wear your Team Maxie shirts with pride!
We are excited about the event on the 15th (http://missingmaxie.blogspot.com/2012/01/weekend-for-maxie.html) and that so many people have already signed up. There is now an online registration up as well. I will warn you ahead of time that it is possible that the confirmation you receive after registering will still have the old date. We hope to fix that within the next day (thanks for pointing it out Courtney). http://www.jnf.org/about-jnf/events/2012/benefit-for-maxie-leviss.html. So you know, you won't actually receive paper tickets to the event but your name will be on a list when you arrive. The silent auction will have lots of great items - police ride alongs, several hotel stays and vacation homes (including a week at our home in Costa Rica and a weekend at Aunt Jan's Arrowhead house), unique experiences....I am excited about the donations we have received. Shawn is working on the talent and has a few great comedians lined up. It will be a fun night.
Remember that we are looking forward to a whole weekend of activities for Maxie and that there will also be a 5k and a marathon on Saturday the 17th and Sunday the 18th. We are hoping that a group of people will join us for the 5k on Saturday. We are planning to walk it (I am going to physical therapy twice a week for my ankle and will hopefully be all good by then). My two friends, Jess Clements and Ann Frederick, have told me of their plans to run. Please please let me know if you are planning to join us. We are setting up a fundraising page this week for those of you who are inclined to use the event to help us raise money for Maxie's Forest as well. Here is the information about the 5k. http://www.lamarathon.com/event/la-5k/. It is $35 to register and you can do it the morning of the event.
In other news - as I mentioned, I am going to physical therapy twice a week. It is actually nice. Mostly I lay there while they massage my foot, use the ultrasound on it to break up scar tissue and attach electrodes to stimulate the muscles. Also, I have to do a few easy exercises. Then I have to do exercises on my own twice a day. I am again motivated by Maxie. The physical therapy we did with him for his stiff little neck worked wonders (http://missingmaxie.blogspot.com/2011/11/maxies-physical-therapy.html). I hope to make the kind of progress he did. Yesterday the therapist was a new guy and he asked me how I hurt myself. I told him that I ran a long distance in flip flops. I told the same thing to the first therapist I had left it at that. This guy started laughing and heckling me though. So I said that I was actually at the hospital and needed to get to my car in a rush to follow an ambulance. I wasn't smiling. He continued heckling me and I should have just smiled and let it be, but instead I explained to him that the ambulance was carrying my son and that he ended up dying. "What a bummer", the therapist said. "Ya", I replied. Then he said, "Well, you seem good now". "Ya", I replied. I should have kept my mouth shut.
As much as I say that I have given up trying to explain what is helpful for grieving parents to hear, I guess I am not really. People still waste so much breath trying to convince me to be happy. I WISH people could just hear that I am unhappy and be ok with that. It is what it is. I am not happy. It is lunacy to think I would be happy and yet the argument continues and I am so, so tired. I am just exhausted and I have WAY too much to worry about. For the love of god, if you want to be helpful, accept me in my broken state for now. Otherwise, please, please, please just leave me alone. (Perhaps this is why I don't hear from so many of my friends?) For those who are looking for accurate portrayals of what "this" feels like, I suggest reading "The Knitting Circle" or "Comfort" by Ann Hood. Or, as some of my readers commented yesterday, rent "Rabbit Hole" with Nicole Kidman. Warning - it isn't uplifting. But, it is the truth. As I mentioned yesterday, I don't think any of the movies that you normally see about grief do the process any justice at all. And, I truly believe that the grief of bereaved parents is unique. It is not the same as the grief of widows and widowers, or those who lose grandparents, friends, or anyone else. Those griefs are unique as well. I found this short video this morning. One of my favorite bloggers, Heather Spohr, answers a woman asking how she should talk to her friend whose child is dying: http://www.momversation.com/momversation/loss-child-what-do-you-say. As I continue to justify my feelings to well meaning friends day in and day out, I have to wonder if am I wasting my time. I believe that for the most part I am. But, there have been a few people who have come around over the last six months. Thank you to those friends who have stood by us and made the effort to try to understand. Ted and I both have appreciated your support so very much.

Hey Abby, I posted the info about Maxie's forest on the friends of Israel Fire Fighters as well... I hope that someone there will see it and decide that Maxie's forest is exactly what they were looking for all along.
I wish I could be in LA for the event...

LETTERS; Dark Musicals: 'South Pacific' Optimism
Published: March 30, 2008
To the Editor:
Re ''Two Helpings of Pie From Broadway's Fridge'' by Charles Isherwood [March 23]:
Everything Mr. Isherwood wrote about ''South Pacific'' and the ''unshakable optimism'' it illuminates is true.
What is also true is the power of Rodgers and Hammerstein's creation to speak to Americans with calming reassurance when we need it most.
I taught a musical theater class at a suburban Chicago high school for over a decade. During the 2001-2 school year one of the musicals we had selected the previous year to study was ''South Pacific.'' In the days and weeks after Sept. 11 I got to see and hear many rehearsals and class performances of songs from the show.
Although I never could have predicted this beforehand, my absolute favorite came to be ''A Cockeyed Optimist.'' Every time I heard this song, with the line ''I'm stuck like a dope with this thing called hope and I can't get it out of my heart, not this heart,'' I felt a little less sad and a little less empty.
I could have listened to that song, sung earnestly by the clear-eyed young performers in my class, forever. It remains one of my strongest memories of the time after Sept. 11 and how I as an individual and we as a whole nation longed to feel better. I think we all can still use ''this thing called hope''.

Pompey's best 11 - StuartM
Goalkeeper: David James - I have said "Great save by David James" dozens of times since he came - truly legendary ability to pull off amazing saves.
Right Back: Glen Johnson - The best attacking fullback I have seen at Portsmouth - can dribble past players with ease, crosses well and can score great goals - and will probably become more of a legend over the next few years when he learns to give his all a bit more!
Centre Back: Noel Blake - this guy was just awesome in defence, scored lots of goals and when we needed him, he would play up front in the last 10 minutes and sometimes score - a true legend from my youth.
Centre Back: Linvoy Primus - Has such a great attitude, always given 110% and outshone our big name defenders last year and in previous years. A must.
Left Wing Back: Matty Taylor - Has scored some legendary goals and penalties for Portsmouth, always runs hard and I'll forever remember his celebration against Wigan!
Right Midfield: Steve Stone - Another one who was instrumental in getting us out of the Championship and keeping us the Premiership - scored some crucial goals, supplied great crosses, never gave up and inspired others.
Centre Midfield: Micky Tait - A great hard tackling hardnosed player who could score some great goals - played a number of great seasons for Pompey in the 80's
Centre Midfield: Pedro Mendes - Wins his place in the team for scoring THE best goal I've seen for Pompey - against City in the Great Escape - as well as the other blasts he has scored - good intelligent footballer who has tons of class.
Left Midfield: Paul Merson - What a creative inspiration for our promotion season - he set up and scored so many goals and made such a difference to our team - always will be remembered for lifting us up out of mediocrity. Harry Redknapp's best ever buy!
Striker: Guy Whittingham - I saw his first ever goal for Pompey and followed his career ever since, always telling my friends that this guy would be legendary - he proved it with his 48 goals in a season which will probably never be surpassed.
Striker: Benjani Mwaruwari - I reckon Benjani would set up as many goals for Guy as Paul Walsh did, his non stop running and hassling and competitiveness, as well as his excellent attitude make him a big favourite for me.
Selected by - StuartM.

And sadly - apparently they are treated differently as apparently children in reality tv shows are not seen as actors therefore they get an exemption under Child Labor Laws. If this show was in California or a few other states, they would have to be paid.
Does get me about the Moms though - AND if they're not paid, why do they stay on the show if Abby treats them so bad? (Well I know - Abby's contract, but the Moms could demand the show pay off the contract - or try, and get out of there).

Electrical problem
1999 Saturn SL1 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual 122000 miles
I left my lights on and the battery died. I tried to charge it and it wouldn't take a charge. Had the battery checks and it was bad so I got a new one. The car has sat for a week and the battery died. I tried to charge the new battery and it won't take a charge. A week before I left the lights on, the AC light on the dash would not come on and the heater/AC fan would not work. Any help would be great!
have the same problem?

Adore it, but I must comment, that judging by the length and cut of the dress, it isn't "Edwardian", as edwardian dresses were always floor length. Unless this was a child's dress, it can't be edwardian, as womenswear didn't rise above the ankle until the mid 1910's.
Sorry to be such a picky little nuisance, but I study fashion history at university, and I'm sure as a fellow vintage enthusiast you'd be interested to know :)

Laurabell: you're absolutely right! It's a child's dress, I forgot to mention that bit. Not a picky nuisance at all! I love to hear what you have to think, and there will be things that you or other readers might know that I don't, and I hope you always feel free to tell me! :D x

No need to panic quite yet but Dustin McGowan had a bit of a setback in his comeback bid today. The good news, he felt fine after throwing 68 pitches to the New York Yankees A-ball squad. The bad news, McGowan was very inconsistent and got hit around by young, nowhere near MLB ready minor leaguers.
His line was ugly, throwing 2.1 IPs, allowing 6 hits and 5 earned – McGowan walked 2 and struck out 5 hitters.
Analysis: There were bound to be a few ugly days like this and it was only one start but it has to be disconcerting to the Jays brass that a pitcher they are counting upon to give them 25+ starts in 2012 got touched up by inferior competition.
Let's see how McGowan bounces back in his next appearance this coming Sunday versus the Boston Red Sox where is scheduled to throw 5 innings.

Golf: Quick Tip — Lagging it better
Updated 1:31 am, Wednesday, May 8, 2013
Lesson courtesy of "What's A Golfer To Do?" compiled by Ron Kaspriske and the editors of Golf Digest from noted instructor Butch Harmon:
Instead of putting to holes on the practice green to learn how to lag the ball close, use this drill to get a feel for speed.
Grab a few balls and putt from one end of the green to the other, then turn around and putt back. You'll quickly get a handle on pace. As for technique, make a longer, slower backstroke, so you have generated some energy and some room to accelerate the putter.

If morphology can be summarized as the product of the interaction between phylogeny, ecology and stochastic processes, then evaluating the relative contributions of each to biological form is one approach to discerning potential ecologic relationships and interactions. Assessing these types of relationships will help us understand the processes driving biodiversity by clarifying the rules governing ecologic community organization among dinosaur species. It would help resolve lingering questions about how an ecosystem of substantially larger animals was able to coexist spatially and temporally and how different dinosaur communities were from mammalian ones. In this dissertation, I present an assessment of the factors that impacted theropod dinosaur ecology including taxonomic composition of the ecosystem, changes in morphology between and within clades through time, and the possible effects of ontogenetic change on niche occupation. I initially illustrated the changing patterns of ecosystem composition by looking at fossil occurrences and illustrated a pattern of passive replacement among the various dinosaur clades. Testing for selection-driven changes in morphological disparity, I found that increases in community variance drive changes in morphology and that theropods appear to all converge on the same general bauplan, suggesting that factors other than interspecific competition drive ecosystem structure between species. I also show that morphologic change through ontogeny played an important role in selecting for juvenile performance, which would have allowed immature individuals to coexist and acquire resources with larger, more mature individuals. These results suggest that both passive, within lineage factors as well as some extrinsic forces influenced theropod ecology and biodiversity. 2014-07-02T00:00:00Z Phenotypic variation across chromosomal hybrid zones of the Eurasian common shrew (Sorex araneus) indicates reduced gene flow Polly, P.

David; Polyakov, Andrei V.; Ilyashenko, Vadim B.; Onischenko, Sergei S.; White, Thomas A.; Bulatova, Nina S.; Pavlova, Svetlana V.; Borodin, Pavel M.; Searle, Jeremy B. Sorex araneus, the Eurasian common shrew, is a species with more than 70 karyotypic races, many of which form parapatric hybrid zones, making it a model for studying chromosomal speciation. Hybrids between races have reduced fitness, but microsatellite markers have demonstrated considerable gene flow between them calling into question whether the chromosomal barriers actually do contribute to genetic divergence. We studied phenotypic clines across two hybrid zones with especially complex heterozygotes. Hybrids between the Novosibirsk and Tomsk races produce chains of nine and three chromosomes at meiosis, and hybrids between the Moscow and Seliger races produce chains of eleven. Our goal was to determine whether phenotypes show evidence of reduced gene flow at hybrid zones. We used maximum likelihood to fit tanh cline models to geometric shape data and found that phenotypic clines in skulls and mandibles across these zones had similar centers and widths as metacentric clines. The amount of phenotypic differentiation across the zones is greater than expected if it were dissipating due to gene flow given the amount of time since contact, but it is less than expected to have accumulated from drift during allopatric separation in glacial refugia. Only if heritability is very low, Ne very high, and the time spent in allopatry very short, will the differences we observe be large enough to match the expectation of drift. Our results therefore suggest that phenotypic differentiation has been lost through gene flow since post-glacial secondary contact, but not as quickly as would be expected if there was free gene flow across the hybrid zones. The chromosomal tension zones are confirmed to be partial barriers that prevent differentiated races from becoming phenotypically homogenous. The data archived here underpin these results. 2013-02-14T00:00:00Z The ecology of morphology: the ecometrics of locomotion and macroenvironment in North American snakes - Online Appendix Lawing, A.

Michelle; Head, Jason J.; Polly, P. David Morphological traits that have a functional relationship with the environment can be used to study relationships between organisms and environments through time and across space. Dynamics of the trait-environment complex can be studied with ecometrics in individuals, in populations, and in communities. We explored how closely correlated three skeletal traits are with substrate use, and thus macrohabitat, among communities of snakes with the goal of better understanding how climate and macrovegetation might affect snake assemblages. Substrate use explained a large part of the variance in mean length-to-width ratio of vertebrae (R2 = 0.66), PC1 of vertebral shape of a mid trunk vertebra (R2 = 0.46), and relative tail length (R2 = 0.71). Furthermore, mean relative tail length in snake assemblages across North America is strongly associated with ecoregions and vegetation cover (R2 = 0.65 and 0.47, respectively). The close relationship with macrovegetation makes relative tail length a useful tool for predicting how snake assemblages will change as climates and biomes change across space or through time. This "ecometric" approach provides a medium-scale link between data collected from ecological studies over decades to data assembled from the fossil record over thousands, tens of thousands, or even millions of years. We show how historical vegetation changes between the early 20th and 21st centuries at five preserves in North America resulted in ecometric changes that parallel the geographic distribution of relative tail length in snake communities across North America.

The hunt is on.
The question is whether it makes sense for Manteca to snag a Great Wolf Resort by using property tax, hotel room tax, and sales tax (excluding Measure K and Measure K sales taxes) that the resort exclusively generates as bait. The tax receipts would be used by the developer to repay public-related infrastructure investments that are tied into the Great Wolf project.
Documents generated so far that are going under extreme scrutiny by financial experts hired by Manteca to advise them on the viability of such projects in the past as Big League Dreams and the Promenade Shops at Orchard Valley indicate the city could receive a positive cash flow of $1.4 million a year into municipal coffers if a deal is executed.
But that can't be determined with any certainty until first environmental studies are completed and then specific financial analysis is performed.
To that end, McWhinney Development — the firm that wants to build a Great Wolf Resort in Manteca — is willing to put up $200,000 toward whatever costs the city occurs in undertaking such studies. At the same time, Manteca Development Group spearheaded by Bill Filios that is pushing for development of the overall family entertainment zone is offering another $100,000 for the same purpose.
City Manager Karen McLaughlin said the $300,000 would cover most of the costs Manteca would incur studying the feasibility of the resort project.
McLaughlin characterized the $300,000 "as a significant show of faith" on the developers' part.
The City Council when they meet Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the Manteca Senior Center, 295 Cherry Lane, is being asked to consider approving a memorandum of understanding that provides the city with the $300,000. At the same time exclusive negotiating agreement between the city and the two entities will be extended through Jan. 31, 2015 with the city manager having the option of extending it for 30 days if needed.
The documents also reference to the possibility of leasing the 30 acres owned by the city just west of Costco along the 120 Bypass to McWhinney for 99 years.
Manteca is currently in negotiations with Colorado-based McWhinney Development to build a 500-room resort hotel encompassing 290,000 square feet, an 85,000-square-foot indoor water park, 20,000-square-foot conference center and public parking.
A future expansion is envisioned that would add 200 more rooms as well as a 76,000-square-foot addition to the water park and double the size of the conference center.
The first part of the Great Wolf project represents a $139 million investment. Great Wolf projects a $9.4 million annual payroll with 414 permanent jobs and 156 part-time jobs. They also expect 400,000 annual visitors.
In a financial analysis document delivered on Nov. 21 by MuniCap Inc. — a firm specializing in public financing – a 5 percent private lodging tax would generate $2.3 million a year using 2019 as the base year. That is in addition to $4.2 million projected from the basic 9 percent transit occupancy room tax, the city's share of property taxes and its cut of general sales tax connected directly with the resort project.
An estimated $2 million would be generated in 2019 that would be in excess of annual payments. The type of bonds is critical to the deal as well. Of that, $1.4 million would flow into municipal coffers.
Manteca is insisting on certificates of participation (COPS) to finance improvements associated with the actual building of the resort. That means the city will have no responsibility for the repayment of the COPs other than from the increase in tax revenues provided by the Great Wolf Lodge. If the resort fails to generate the room tax, sales tax and property tax isn't large enough the city is not on the hook to make up the difference.
While that increases the risk to those who purchase the COPs, the appeal is the income tax exemption on interest that the COPs carry. Over the life of the 30-year payment of the $30 million for municipal improvements needs to make the site ready for development including streets as well as pipe for sewer, water, and storm service, the holders of the COPs would collect $46 million in tax-free interest on top of $30 million in principal.
Great Wolf also intends to level a private lodging tax of 5 percent to finance bonds for a Community Facilities District for site improvements directly related to the resort project. That is designed to cover about $23 million worth of on-site infrastructure.
The CDF would generate $600,000 in revenue in 2019 beyond the debt repayment.
That means $1.4 million is the number Manteca leaders are working with to determine by early 2015 whether Great Wolf is something that they want to see go on the 30 acres the city owns. That is what would be left over after the city room taxes, sales taxes and property taxes generated by Great Wolf that Manteca could use for other purposes.
The $1.4 million surplus projected in 2019 would grow to $2.5 million annually by 2029, $3.6 million annually by 2030 and $4.2 million the year the bonds are paid off in 2044. Then in 2045 Manteca would receive a projected $7.1 million a year from room, sales, and property taxes connected specifically with the Great Wolf resort.
That is in addition to $81,000 a year starting in 2019 in Measure M sales tax generated by Great Wolf guests that could not be used for bond repayments and must be spent on public safety personnel. That represents s either one police officer or one firefighter,
The scenario assumes McWhinney builds a 500-room resort hotel that maintains 71.1 percent occupancy.
