WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Senate's top Republican says President Barack Obama has asked congressional leaders to convene at the White House for last-minute talks on a deal that avoids automatic tax increases and broad spending cuts.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell says the leaders are expected to meet with the president Friday, just four days before the government goes over the so-called "fiscal cliff" if Congress and Obama don't act.
The meeting would be the first time Obama has huddled with all four leaders since Nov. 16 and would represent that last hope for a deal before the new year. Obama spoke to each leader individually Wednesday before returning from vacation in Hawaii.
Obama and congressional Democrats want a deal that would let tax rates rise for the wealthiest taxpayers.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The White House says President Barack Obama has made separate phone calls to congressional leaders to discuss the impending fiscal cliff.
A White House official says Obama called Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, House Speaker John Boehner, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell and House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi late Wednesday. The president made the calls before leaving his Hawaiian vacation for Washington, D.C.
The calls come amid little progress before the Dec. 31 deadline to avoid the fiscal cliff. Americans face major tax increases and spending cuts if Congress and the White House fail to reach a compromise by the end of the year.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The House will be back in session Sunday evening as the "fiscal cliff" looms, threatening across-the-board tax increases and spending cuts with the new year.
Officials said the Republican leadership informed the GOP rank and file of the plan to meet during a conference call Thursday.
It is unclear what legislation the House might consider Sunday, since Speaker John Boehner is publicly insisting that the Senate must make the next move to avert the cliff.
With the Senate in session, Democrats in both chambers of Congress have been harshly critical of the House's absence.
The "fiscal cliff" deadline is four days away.
The officials who disclosed plans for the Sunday session did so on condition of anonymity, saying no public announcement had yet been made.

Story highlights
- It is unclear whether anyone was killed in the attack, a U.N. official says
- Attackers looted a displaced persons camp and raped women there, the official says
- The attack comes after U.N. monitors confirm that rebels have withdrawn from Goma
- The rebels were told by regional leaders to withdraw at least 12 miles from the city
Armed men attacked a displaced persons camp in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo early Sunday, raping women and looting at a facility where tens of thousands of people have taken refuge, a U.N. official said.
Simplice Kpandji, a spokesman for the United Nations' refugee agency, said it was unclear whether anyone had been killed at the camp, which is about 10 kilometers from Goma, the border city that has been a flashpoint for fighting between government troops and the M23 rebel group.
The Mugunga III camp houses more than 30,000 displaced people, many of whom fled to the camp when rebels advanced on Goma, Kpandji said. The attackers' identity was unknown, he said, and officials were working on gathering more information.
Word of the attack came as U.N. monitors confirmed that rebels had withdrawn from Goma, more than a week after they seized the city from government forces.
Fighters from the M23 rebel group boarded trucks and other vehicles to head north to outside of the 20 kilometer buffer zone stipulated by regional leaders, U.N. peacekeepers in Congo said in a statement.
Earlier they had begun leaving Sake, a town to the west of Goma. M23 rebels also left their posts at the border crossing with Rwanda.
Tensions mounted in Goma as several disputes arose. The M23 wanted to take a large cache of ammunition left by fleeing Congolese soldiers, according to a reporter on the ground who was not named for his safety. The U.N. peacekeeping prevented the rebels from doing so, and also stopped the rebels from taking vehicles donated to the government by the European Union, the reporter said.
The rebel group has been accused of widespread looting by the United Nations and Goma residents. Government forces also looted as they fled last week, witnesses said.
The United Nations welcomed M23's move, but said the group must cease military activity and stay outside of Goma.
"We welcome this withdrawal, but emphasize that this is an early step and that stability in the region remains very fragile," said Kieran Dwyer, spokesperson for U.N. peacekeepers.
Regional leaders and the African Union had called for the rebels' withdrawal from Goma, supposed to have been completed by Thursday, as a condition of starting negotiations.
The regional leaders' plan foresees an integrated force being deployed for an initial period of three months at Goma airport, Ugandan Gen. Aronda Nyakairima said earlier this week. It would include a 100-strong neutral force, which would be in command, 100 troops from the Congolese army, and 100 members of the M23, Nyakairima said.
Two military observers would also be deployed from each of the neighboring regional powers, while MONUSCO would be responsible for securing the buffer zone outside Goma, he said.
The regional leaders also called on the rebels to "stop all war activities," and "stop talk of overthrowing an elected government."
The latest violence has forced more than 140,000 people to flee their homes, according to the U.N. refugee agency, on top of those already forced from their homes by previous rounds of fighting in the volatile region. And aid groups warn the conflict risks triggering a broader humanitarian crisis.
The M23 group was named for a peace deal of March 23, 2009, which it accuses the government of violating. The soldiers, mostly Tutsis, became part of the national army through that accord.
However, they broke away from the Congolese army in April, complaining they weren't being promoted as promised, and because of a lack of pay and poor conditions.
The latest unrest continues a cycle of misery in eastern DR Congo, a mineral-rich region at the epicenter of political and ethnic conflict involving its neighbors to the east, Uganda and Rwanda.
The area has been embroiled in violence since 1994, when Hutu forces crossed the border from Rwanda fearing reprisals after the genocide in that country.

REDCLIFFE DOLPHINS v SUNSHINE COAST
Dolphin Oval
Saturday, April 9 - 2pm* Live on ABC 1
The Sunshine Coast faces a difficult task to bounce back from their heavy loss against the Ipswich Jets when they take on the red-hot Redcliffe Dolphins this weekend. The Sea Eagles' 44-6 loss to the Jets was their worst defeat in the Queensland Cup, and their current run of four losses equals their longest in the competition.
Redcliffe however, are enjoying a good run of form, having surprisingly made light work of the Burleigh Bears in the previous round. Dolphins coach John Dixon has named an unchanged team, with late round 3 inclusions Dave Hala and Allan Heldsinger retaining their spots on the bench.
In another challenge to overcome for the Sunshine Coast, it will be their fourth-straight away match and they will play another three matches on the road before their first home game at their new stadium. However, they could be boosted by the return of classy halfback Nick Swan. The Sea Eagles received a boost this week with the naming of Hutchinson Builders as the club's new major sponsor.
TWEED HEADS v CENTRAL COMETS
Piggabeen Sports Complex
Saturday, April 9 - 3.30pm
Ben Anderson's Tweed Heads Seagulls have continued on their winning ways and will prove hard to stop this weekend. Tweed fans watched their team win their first home game back at Piggabeen last week, with eight different players running in tries in the victory against the Mackay Cutters.
With the Gulls playing another home game this week, the Central Comets will have their work cut out for them on this away trip - however, they will be boosted by the return of the creative Nat Bowman. Bowman, who only needs to score two more points to reach a total of 500 in the Queensland Cup, replaces the injured Jonathan Tavinor (ankle) at halfback.
Despite missing star player Shannon Walker until round 6, Tweed's backline will be difficult to contain. In the head-to-head stakes, Tweed Heads have won nine and the Comets six. The two teams have drawn twice before.
IPSWICH JETS v MACKAY CUTTERS
North Ipswich Reserve
Sunday, April 10 - 1.30pm (please note venue change)
The Jets received an unexpected boost this week, with their game against the Mackay Cutters switched to the North Ipswich Reserve due to the heavy state of the fields in rain-drenched Mackay. After a record-breaking two straight draws to start their season, Ipswich joined the winners circle last weekend with their victory over the Sunshine Coast.
The Cutters however, endured a tough road trip to Piggabeen, where Tweed Heads scored a 46-20 win. Mackay finished the game with only two players on the bench but both Todd Seymour and Darren Griffiths have been named by coach Anthony Seibold.
For the Jets, Luke Capewell has been called up to the Titans, with Marshall Chalk returning to the fullback role. Two-try star Luke Walker also retains his spot in the Jets line-up but former Cutter Donald Malone is unlikely to play due to a shoulder injury.
This game will also be a milestone match for two Jets players, with Todd Riggs and Ian Lacey playing their 50th Queensland Cup games for Ipswich.
BURLEIGH BEARS v NORTHERN PRIDE
Pizzey Park
Sunday, April 10 - 2pm
The Northern Pride will be going for a record-equalling 16th win on the trot when they take on the Burleigh Bears this weekend. The Pride's last loss was round 13 last year against Wynnum Manly, and in their current form, they are a chance of getting there to join the NQ Young Guns and Burleigh Bears in the record books.
However, the Bears will be keen to keep the record holders to an exclusive club and are expected to put on an improved showing this weekend. Former Cronulla Shark Lancen Joudo will make his Queensland Cup debut for the Pride, with his good form in the Cairns District Rugby League earning him a spot on the bench as a back-up to hooker Jason Roos.
Rod Jensen has also been elevated from the bench in place of Michael Bani, who underwent surgery on his injured ankle yesterday. For Burleigh, coach Paul Bramley has kept the faith with his side and they will go into this game with an unchanged line-up. Pride forward Ben Laity (Northern Pride and North Queensland Young Guns) will play his 150th Queensland Cup game.
NORTHS DEVILS v WYNNUM MANLY
Bishop Park
Sunday, April 10 - 2.30pm* Live on BayFM 100.3
It's a big day at Bishop Park on Sunday, with the two traditional clubs facing off in five games - Intrust Super Cup, FOGS Cup, FOGS Colts, Mal Meninga Cup and the Cyril Connell Cup. Although still early in the Intrust Super Cup season, this is shaping as a must-win game for the Wynnum Manly Seagulls.
The Gulls are currently 0-3 and after going down in narrow circumstances to the Redcliffe Dolphins, they have been outperformed in their last two outings. Paul Green has been prompted to make changes to his team, with a number of top grade regulars, including halfback Matt Seamark, dropped to the FOGS Cup. One player in no danger of losing his spot is Shea Moylan, a standout in the opening weeks of the competition with four tries.
Norths will have a spring in their step following last week's breakthrough win against the Comets. The Devils will also welcome back Shane Perry and skipper Mark Vaiao to the team, with Perry set to play his 200th Queensland Cup game. Perry, who also played for Brothers, Logan and Redcliffe previously, will become only the eighth player to reach the milestone.
SOUTHS LOGAN v EASTS TIGERS
Davies Park
Sunday, April 10 - 3pm
The Magpies host cross-town rivals Easts in this intriguing clash. Souths Logan have now won two games in a row, and while the Tigers are yet to win a game - they have been playing well enough to see their luck change soon.
Including their season-opening draw against the Ipswich Jets, Easts have now gone nine games without a win, however, their head-to-head record (Easts 19 wins; Souths-Logan 10 wins) suggests that maybe this could be their week. Kevin Stephensen made a successful return to the top grade last weekend, scoring two tries in their close loss to the Pride and will again take his place on the wing.
Souths Logan was impressive in their win against Wynnum Manly, scoring eight tries in a fine attacking performance. Both coaches have made a few changes to the teams that were named last week, with Elijah Niko returning for Easts and Corey Thompson, Wes Conlon and Wade Liddell being called into the starting side for the Magpies.

ACC Championship Central | Game Notes
BLACKSBURG, Va. -
Undefeated and top-seeded Maryland will battle fifth-ranked Duke at 1 p.m. on Sunday for the 2009 ACC Women's Lacrosse Championship at Thompson Field on the campus of Virginia Tech University. The game will be televised live on FOX Sports Net.
Second-ranked Maryland (17-0, 5-0 ACC) got past Virginia in resounding fashion, 15-7, in the ACC semifinals on Friday. The Cavaliers had been a thorn in the side of the Terps, knocking Maryland out of the tournament the past two seasons. Caitlyn McFadden, Laura Merrifield and Brittany Jones all recorded hat tricks to lead the Terrapin offense while freshman goalie Brittany Dipper had a career-high 12 saves in the cage.
Duke, the tournament's fourth seed, upset North Carolina in game two of the semifinals on Friday. Maryland topped Duke, 15-13, back on Feb. 28 in College Park. Laura Merrifield made a triumphant debut in the starting lineup, notching five goals to pace the Terrapin offense. Caroline Cryer also scored five goals to lead the Blue Devils. The all-time series rests in favor of the Terps, 10-8.
The second-ranked Maryland women's lacrosse team finds itself in very familiar territory as it heads into the 2009 ACC Championship as the top seed.
Last season, the Terps, who were also ranked second in the nation at the time, entered the tournament on a 12-game winning streak.
This is the first time ever that Maryland has garnered the top seed in the three-straight seasons.
Maryland has won five of the 12 ACC Championships by taking titles in 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2003.
The Terps are 14-7 all-time in the tournament but just 3-5 in the last eight games. The three wins came on Friday against Virginia in the semifinals, last season against North Carolina, 8-5, in the semifinals and versus Boston College, 21-8, in the opening round in 2006.
No. 1 seeds are 11-1 all-time in the semifinals of the ACC Championship.
The last time the Terps hoisted the ACC Championship trophy was in 2003.
Virginia has won the last three ACC Championships. Maryland and Virginia are the only two programs to boast three consecutive championships.
No. 1-seeded Maryland upended No. 5 seed North Carolina, 8-5, in the semifinals. The Terps jumped out to a 6-0 lead and never looked back. Current Maryland juniors Caitlyn McFadden and Amanda Spinnenweber each recorded points in the win, which was Maryland's first in the ACC Championship since 2006.
Maryland then battled third-ranked Virginia in the championship game, with the Cavaliers besting the Terps, 10-9, in Charlottesville.
Allie Buote, Lauren Cohen, Dana Dobbie and Kelly Kasper were named to the all-tournament team.
After falling victim to three-time defending champion Virginia the past two seasons, the top-seeded women's lacrosse team was able to knock off the Cavaliers Friday, 15-7, in the semifinals of the 2009 ACC Championship at Thompson Field.
Freshman goalie Brittany Dipper ended the game with a career-high 12 saves while the rest of the Maryland defense held All-American Ashley McCulloch without a point for the second time this season. The Maryland offense was led by hat tricks from Caitlyn McFadden, Laura Merrifield and Brittany Jones. The Terps were able to advance to the finals despite Virginia winning more draws and creating fewer turnovers.
If there were any lingering doubts what this year's Maryland women's lacrosse team is capable of, they were erased Saturday, as the second-ranked Terps captured its third-straight Atlantic Coast Conference Regular Season Championship with a win over No. 4 North Carolina, 13-8, at a rain-soaked Field Hockey & Lacrosse Complex.
It was the first time in program history that the Terps have been the top seed in the ACC Championship for three-straight seasons.
The Maryland defense, which allowed 12 shots in the first half, permitted only six Tar Heel opportunities in the second period.
Three Maryland women's lacrosse players have been named as nominees for the 2009 Tewaaraton Trophy, annually handed out to the nation's best women's lacrosse player. Karri Ellen Johnson, Caitlyn McFadden and Sarah Mollison have all been tabbed to the prestigious list.
Johnson's 60 goals this season are a Maryland program-best for a freshman. The attacker from Annapolis, Md., has snagged two ACC Player of the Week awards for the undefeated Terps this season. Johnson leads the ACC in goals and ranks in the top ten in goals and draw controls in the nation. She is the lone freshman on this year's Tewaaraton list.
Mollison, a sophomore, tops the ACC and ranks eighth in the nation in assists this season with 34. The Australian-product boasts 64 points for the second most-prolific offense in the nation in 2009.
McFadden ranks in the top three in goals, assists, points, ground balls, draw controls and caused turnovers for the ACC regular-season champions. The captain, who was an All-American last season as a sophomore, is also ranked in the top ten in goals, assists, points and shots in the always-challenging ACC.
Junior Caitlyn McFadden, sophomores Sarah Mollison, Laura Merrifield, Brandi Jones and freshman Karri Ellen Johnson were all tabbed to the 2009 All-ACC Women's Lacrosse Team, announced at the ACC Tournament banquet.
The No. 5-ranked Duke Blue Devils (13-4) defeated North Carolina in the ACC semifinals on Friday to advance to the championship game.
The Terps topped the Blue Devils, 15-13, in College Park in late February. Laura Merrifield made her debut in the starting lineup after missing the first two games with a shoulder injury. The sophomore tallied five goals to lead Maryland's offense. Caroline Cryer paced Duke with five scores.
The Terps hold the narrow lead in the all-time series, 10-8.

Maryland junior Caitlyn McFadden was one of 18 players selected to compete for the United States in the 2009 Federation of International Lacrosse World Cup from June 17-27 in the Czech Republic. The team was selected following the Champion® Challenge event in Lake Buena Vista, Fla., the first weekend in February.
McFadden, who boasted All-American honors as a sophomore, is one of six current collegiate players to be named to the team. The junior from Phoenix, Md., tallied 27 goals and 27 assists a year ago.
In addition to McFadden, former Terp Acacia Walker was also named to the team. Walker played for the Terps from 2002-05 and was a two-time All-American. Walker is currently the associate head coach at UMass. Current Maryland assistant coach and former Terp standout Quinn Carney was named as an alternate. Carney was a four-time national champion and two-time All-American for the Terps. She was a member of the U.S. World Cup champion squad in 2001 and then earned a silver medal in 2005, where she was named to the All-World Team.
Sophomores Sarah Mollison and Laura Merrifield will compete for the Australian and English national teams, respectively, at this summer's International Federation of Lacrosse World Cup in Prague.
Mollison, a sophomore from Melbourne, was one of the youngest members of the 2005 Australian World Cup team that won the championship. Mollison has won seven Australian championships as a member of the U-21 and U-17 Victorian junior national teams. As a Terrapin, the midfielder racked up eight goals and six assists in her rookie campaign in 2008. She also tallied seven groundballs and a pair of draw controls in 18 games played.
Merrifield, a sophomore from Hertfordshire, played in 17 contests last season. The midfielder notched 10 goals and one assist with two draw controls and six caused turnovers. She was a member of the U-19 All-World Team and a co-captain of the U-19 England squad.
Just as so many Terps have done in the past, this season the torch has been passed down to yet another group of players looking to keep Maryland women's lacrosse front and center in the national spotlight.
The Terps benefited from a plethora of senior leadership last season, including Tewaarton finalists Dana Dobbie and Kelly Kasper. Dobbie captured ACC Player of the Year honors as a junior and a senior, while Kasper exited Maryland as one of its most prolific players, ranking fifth in assists and seventh in points all-time. Dobbie and Kasper were two-time and three-time All-Americans, respectively.
Caitlyn McFadden is poised to be the next in line of Terp greats, already notching All-ACC and All-America honors as a sophomore. The junior midfielder is a preseason All-American by several publications this season.
Head coach Cathy Reese and the Maryland women's lacrosse team named Caitlyn McFadden, Amanda Spinnenweber and Karissa Taylor captains for the 2009 season.
The announcement comes on the cusp of McFadden being tabbed to the 2009 U.S. World Cup Team, which will compete in the Czech Republic this summer. The junior is the Terps top returner this season after notching 27 goals and 27 assists for a Maryland squad that finished 18-3 in 2008. McFadden earned All-America honors in addition to landing on the All-ACC team.
Spinnenweber is also a returning starter and is poised to make an increased impact in the midfield this season. The junior from Pasadena, Md., netted 18 goals and dished out three assists a year ago and appeared in 17 games as a freshman.
Taylor is one of the top returning defenders for Maryland this season after starting in all 20 games as a sophomore in 2008. The Easton, Md.-native tallied 26 groundballs and 20 draw controls last season.

'Who actually decided on Newfoundland's union with Canada?'
A supporter of the 1949 conspiracy theory, asked by Randy Simms on "Open Line" recently to give one fact supporting the truthfulness of the theory, replied that "Canada and Britain appointed the delegates who negotiated the terms of union and Newfoundlanders had no say in it."
Among the partial facts, fiction and fancy that make up the essence of the theory, this would fall somewhere between fiction and fancy.
The people of Newfoundland elected the members of the National Convention and these members elected the delegates to negotiate terms of union for Newfoundlanders to consider. The terms negotiated by the delegation were brought back and publicly debated for seven months before the final referendum. Newfoundlanders knew well the issues and what they were voting for by referendum day.
So, who actually decided on Newfound- land's union with Canada?
Was it England, Canada, or both? Neither; it was the little man in the fishing boat, on the farm, or working in the factories, the stores, on the waterfront, etc., who seized control of his country's destiny by exercising his choice for his future, with the marking of a simple "X" on a ballot paper. That simple "X" ended 450 years of servitude to a system beyond his control.
If Newfoundlanders had voted by districts based on those represented in the National Convention, the outcome would have been a landslide Confederate victory of 29 to 9. Among the 47 per cent voting against Confederation were 12 to 15 per cent pro-Confederates who voted responsible government as a step towards Confederation. Had they voted directly for Confederation, the margin of victory would have been higher.
The next step towards Confederation was to sign the terms of union. The Newfoundland Commission of Government appointed a (second) delegation to finalize union.
Gordon Winter, a strong anti- Confederate, and Joe Smallwood, pro-Confederate leader, served on this second delegation to Ottawa. Afterwards, Winter said that Smallwood "...fought tenaciously and continually for every advantage and benefit that could be obtained."
These second set of negotiations improved upon the first. As the original terms of union, the majority of Newfoundlanders were satisfied enough with them to choose Confederation. Democracy had been served.

Palo Alto's Paravol: Become a Legend!
The story of Paravol begins in the secretive world of hardcore bodybuilding. Originally developed to combat the severe effects of prohormone and anabolic use, Paravol was a revolutionary breakthrough in treating the extremely low levels of testosterone the most common cause of sexual dysfunction and slow recovery. Instead of simply adding testosterone to the body, Paravol stimulates the bodys natural production of testosterone and seminal fluid. The results were astounding. Not only did users experience a rejuvenated sex drive, but due to Paravols unique formulation, they also enjoyed increased stamina, erection strength, and most amazing, orgasms that were dramatically longer and more intense. And like that, the Male Sexual Revolution began.
When Paravol was released to the general public, men ages 21 and over began experiencing sex in a way that, until now, was never thought possible. The increased volume of seminal fluid released during ejaculation caused men to have multiple climaxes and mind-blowing orgasms. The men reported that Paravol had completely changed their sex life. Users expressed the incredible pleasure and sexual appetite had resulted in a newfound confidence in the bedroom; one that their partners could thoroughly agree upon.
Paravols amazing results are due to their patented approach. Its unique ingredients target the sources of male sexuality. First, Paravol stimulates testosterone production within the body, while also balancing the bodys estrogen level the key to enjoying testosterones positives effects without the negative side effects. This is what gives its users a renewed libido and sexual desire. Next, Paravol stimulates sperm and seminal fluid production. The increased ejaculate volume is what enables men to experience more powerful and a greater number of contractions, and as many of you know, more contractions mean longer, more intense orgasms. This also allows for multiple performances, since there is greater supply of semen. Paravol also increases nitric oxide levels, which results in greater blood flow to the genitals, hence firmer, longer-lasting erections. Finally, Paravol delivers an added boost to your overall energy, which supports amplified sexual activity. The end result pleasure that comes, and comes a lot for you and everyone you touch.

And, while the other products claim you will be able to satisfy your partner better, Paravol is the only one that is designed to amplify the male orgasm.

The future of Council's community transport service is under threat if the state government doesn't come through with more than $100,000 in additional funding.
Goulburn Mulwaree Council has worked closely with neighbouring councils for more than 20 years to provide some of the district's neediest citizens with cheap transport.
Goulburn and District Community Transport is available to anybody who is living independently and is either elderly, frail, disabled or socially and geographically isolated. It services all of the surrounding towns and villages in the Upper Lachlan Shire and delivers its clients to everything from medical appointments in Canberra and Sydney through to social outings in town and even the shopping mall.
However, with cost blow outs forcing ratepayers to shell out between $30,000 and $50,000 a year to keep the service operational, Council says it simply isn't economically viable anymore.
Community services manager Jim Styles told the Post it had been operating at a deficit of between $40,000 and $60,000 annually for the last two or three years.
The Vehicle Replacement Reserve has also been steadily declining. In order to keep the service viable Council needs to contribute between $40,000 and $50,000 a year into the fund. It currently only has $20,000, which isn't enough to replace one car, let alone a bus.
Council receives $275,000 a year from Transport for NSW, $27,000 from NSW Health, and $15,000 from the Department of Veterans' Affairs, along with $50,000 in income. However, there are many overheads.
The service employs four staff members (two full-time and two part-time) and regularly utilises volunteers, who are reimbursed for the use of their vehicles.
Couple this with rising fuel prices, maintenance and vehicle refit and replacements, it starts to add up.
Mr Styles says while state government funding increases each year in line with inflation, operating costs are rising at a far more rapid rate.
"Other councils have indicated to us verbally that they are also having trouble funding their community transport services because of increases in costs, which are higher than CPI, and because income increases aren't keeping up with it," Mr Styles explained.
He said when there was a shortfall in funding, Council was forced to try to make up the difference by increasing the cost to clients. However, when it came to services such as this, increasing charges was a double edged sword.
"Each time you put up your fees you get fewer clients. When you increase costs on users they use it less because they can't afford to pay more," he explained.
There are currently more than 2500 people who use the service regularly and the majority of them are pensioners.
The service is also provided on a needs basis, not to generate profit, meaning people aren't turned away if they can't afford to pay.
"We have a suggested donation but if the client can't afford it we still provide the service anyway," Mr Styles said.
"Most of the time, 99 per cent of people make the donation but sometimes they just can't afford it and that is usually when they need the service the most. If someone is in a situation where they need to ask the question, 'Do I spend the last of my money on groceries or the bus', they should be spending it on groceries and not having to worry about the stress of the bus."
While Upper Lachlan Shire Council supports the service it does not have the resources to host it and if Goulburn Mulwaree doesn't receive an extra $133,678.47 a year from the state government, it will have no choice but to ditch the operation.
A spokeswoman for Transport for NSW told the Post Council's request was currently under consideration and was not able to confirm whether or not the additional funding would come through.
"Transport for NSW has been working with Goulburn Mulwaree Council over the past few years to try and help them maintain their client levels and financial sustainability by looking at structures, service delivery and financial management practices," she said.
"Transport for NSW will ensure, no matter what the outcome, the local community will still receive the community transport services they rely on.
The NSW Government is contributing $6.8 million to community transport across the state, a boost of $2m this financial year."
Mr Styles reassured clients that the service was still operational and told them not to let the situation concern them.
"At this stage we are going to continue to provide the service as usual until we hear further from the government," he said.
"(For now) it is business as usual and if anything changes our clients will be the first to know about it."

Παῦλος ἀπόστολος, οὐκ ἀπ' ἀνθρώπων οὐδὲ δι' ἀνθρώπου ἀλλὰ διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ καὶ Θεοῦ Πατρὸς τοῦ ἐγείραντος αὐτὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν,
Most translations render [ bold] above as "God the Father." For example,
New International Version
Paul, an apostle--sent not from men nor by a man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead--
However this is an ungrammatical translation since the bold English expression above ("God the Father") is one of essential predication (i.e. God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit) rather than of identity (i.e. God = Father).
Yet the expression Θεοῦ Πατρὸς is one where we have two nouns in simple apposition. In other words this construction indicates an identical exchange between both nouns. The mathematical formulas of A=B, B=A are thus applicable in this instance. To put it in another way, Θεοῦ is not predicating or attributing something to Πατρὸς but rather it is identifying him as such. So the correct translation is as follows:
Paul, that is, the apostle --sent not from men nor by a man, but by Jesus Christ and by God, that is, the Father who raised him from the dead--
In this regard Darby Bible Translation comes closest to an accurate translation by bracketing the article "the".
Paul, apostle, not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God [the] Father who raised him from among [the] dead,

This is an Exif Viewer, mainly for jpeg photos taken with a digital camera. It is an update of the "Exif Browser" plugin from the old registry. It requires a recent version of libexif (tested with 0.6.16).
Instructions for Linux:
You need to have gimp already installed on your system. After downloading the file exif-browser.tar.gz, do the following steps.
The next time you run gimp, you should see an entry "View Exif" in the File menu.
By default, this plugin's menu entry appears in GIMP 2.6 under "Files". I didn't like this; it seemed more logical to put it under "Image", because that's where the "Image Properties" entry appears. To change it, I edited the main.c source code, located in exif-browser/src after the archive was extracted. Line 138 was:
gimp_plugin_menu_register (PROCEDURE_NAME, "/File/Info");
Change it to:
gimp_plugin_menu_register (PROCEDURE_NAME, "/Image");
Remove the existing default installation of the plugin, recompile and install using the following commands in a GNOME terminal window inside the exif-browser directory:
sudo make uninstall
sudo make install
The "make" command will parse the source code and may flag syntax errors. If everything goes well, the next time GIMP is started the menu entry will appear in its new location.
(Tested on Ubuntu 10.04.4 "Lucid Lynx" with GNOME 2.30)
What on earth does this all mean? I just use GIMP. There is an apparent assumption that I know a lot more than I do.....
You need to have gimp already installed on your system. After downloading the file exif-browser.tar.gz, do the following steps.
1. gunzip exif-browser.tar.gz
2. tar xcf exif-browser.tar
3. cd exif-browser
4. ./configure
5. make
6. sudo make install
the assumption was the OS: Linux
If you use Windows just get the plugin ready to work
He's giving you the command line instructions for compiling the exif-browser using a Linux machine.
1 and 2 are basic unzip and tar actions.
3. is moving the command line to the directory where the zip is downloaded on your computer.
4. is the configure command for establishing a makefile.
5. is the command for compiling the makefile.
6. installing the makefile (which usually creates a plug-in and leaves it in the src folder). Depending on the source code, some plug-ins are installed directly into designated folders.
For most Linux users, these instructions are typical. To a Windows user, it won't mean anything at all.
do someone use Gimp on a gentoo ?
I would like to use the Exif-wiever on a gentoo + gimp :i

pkg-config is able to find libexif, but not libgimp and libgimpui. Do you have the developer packagers for GIMP installed?
I uhh, actually don't know. Would you mind giving me the package names so I can check? gimp-dev, gimpui-dev, or what...?
I just installed the gimp-devel and gimp-devel-tools packages on my Fedora 13 machine using yumex. After that it would compile. and installed ok. Otherwise the packages can also be found at rpmfind.net.
I'm not familiar with the naming conventions for Fedora, but a safe guess is that searching for "gimp" plus "dev" in a package manager will list the required packages regardless of the distro you're using.

fall to see DSmith and WShallman do their thing. With all the thought and analysis re: DGreen, sometimes I forget about the other guys waiting to show their skills this fall.
Dear Diary is Four Degrees from Kevin Bacon
Wallpaper by jonvalk
Multiple well-researched recruiting retrospectives, everything you need to know about being Number 1, and so many memes explained. Buckle in sports fans because this was a week for user comment worthy of being ranked over Kansas. But first, the thing where I give money to i give money to yooooooouuueeee:
IN WHICH VOGRICH AIN'T SO POOR. You have until 11 a.m. tomorrow to register your fantasy team in our Saturday free pool. Winner gets $100, and there's another $200 split among the 2nd through 15th placers. Details are in the Diary. Really it's just you pick eight guys under a salary cap and see who can get the most rebounds, assists, and points. Wings get called guards, which I find appropriate and kind of interesting in a Beilein has changed the game kind of way. This time I tried rolling with a tempo formula and ended up with both parts of the Cody Zeller-Mitch McGary matchup.
Some of the valuations are weird, for example McGary is $7, 476 while…
Did I just put that there because MGoBlog is obsessed with boxscore bagels? Maybe.
IN WHICH WE BELIEVE EYEBALLING IS BETTER THAN MATH. On Tuesday Brian told Big Ten Geeks that if their metrics were coming up "Jordan Morgan is the Big Ten's best defender," the metric is probably wrong. Most people would see a battle of internet sports nerds of this magnitude and just nod on the sideline, but the brave Blue_MQT dove right into that, putting four countable defensive factors (field goal %, turnovers, rebounding and free-throw rate) against defensive efficiency to see which correlate the best. Then he shows pictures to demonstrate the stuff good defense is really made of, and why it doesn't appear in statistics. A million ugly Big Ten forwards with weird names agree.
IN WHICH BRAYLON GIVES OUR RANKING A SCHOLARSHIP. Every time Yeoman does something that takes a lot of work and ends up being super valuable to our interests, the author of this column must decide whether or not to deploy the obvious double-entendre. This week's impressive solo-farming effort yielded the tournament fates of the last 30 top-ranked teams in January. I make pie:
Now keep telling yourself this. Relatedly: LSAClassof2000 charts AP votes for Michigan this year, creates a chart that seems to suggest there's a ranking zero. Blazefire imagines a 2013-'14 without Burke, Hardaway and GRIII; how about we lose only Vogrich, Akune, Bartelstein, McLimans, and Person and repeat as National Champs, did you think about that?? [me choking Blazefire.gif]. No, no, the chart, remember the chart. Anyone else's arm getting tired?
[After the Jump: the final word on the difference between a 4- and 5-star running back. And many memes explained.]
The 4-stars of 2004: Max Martin, Pierre Rembert, Darnell Hood, and Jerome Jackson.
Saved from the MGoBlue Archives
There were three excellent diaries by this week on assessing football recruiting, and all are required reading if you are to be discussing expectations for the latest Hoke classes. Ron Utah went over the Rivals 100 players that Michigan and Ohio State recruited since 2002 to see how many worked out; unsurprisingly the sweatervesticule got more out of his guys than Carr/Rodriguez/Hoke.
EGD looked at whether it's best to bank a scholarship rather than spend it on a late offer, the result being a kind of surprising "maybe." In practice, the late offers tend to go to fliers, not your standard 3-stars, but I guess the payoff rate is the same for either. My answer is it depends. When Michigan lost out late on some expected guys for the 2005 class Carr suddenly offered two Renaissance kids—Carson Butler was full of talent but didn't have an offer because he was a headcase, and Andre Criswell was just a kid who got really big suddenly. I was fine with that at the time, but in retrospect it looks ill advised bordering on reckless. On the other hand Brian and I were separately penning "why not Norfleet?!?" articles on Signing Day 2012 before he got the offer. If there's a lesson it's "do it if you know what you're getting."
I mentioned the study by gordie bell on what you get when you recruit a highly ranked running back when I stole his thunder with this week's Hokepoints. I mention it again so I can rap a little further on the topic.
Here also I point out that Michigan has a pair of 4-star running backs in this class, Deveon Smith and Wyatt Shallman, who could both leap the current depth chart by fall. Shallman is a pretty straightforward Brandon Jacobs-type man-beast, while enough coaches from Ohio have been screaming "man are you guys underrating Smith!" right now to point out we might be underrating Smith.
The reason for the dissonance here, other than they're just four-stars, is Michigan's recent four-stars haven't panned out so much. Since 2002 guys in that range include Darnell Hood, Jerome Jackson, Pierre Rembert, Max Martin, Carlos Brown, Brandon Minor, Sam McGuffie, Michael Shaw, Mike Cox, Austin White, Fitz Toussaint, and Justice Hayes. The diary is mostly the lists from Rivals but if I put that data to a spreadsheet we see there's a big difference in hit rate between the fours and the fives:
NFL Draft:
|NFL Draft
|5 Stars
|4 Stars
|1st Round
|Rounds 2-4
|Rounds 5-7
|Not Drafted
1,000+ yard seasons in a BCS conference:
|Yrs 1k+ Yds
|5 Stars
|4 Stars
|3 or more
|At least 2
|At least 1
A hundred years in the future, recruiting data will still only go back to 2002 and anything before that will be called "the dark years." I keep a database of the last 10 years of The Dark Years culled from Lemming ratings, newspaper articles, player profiles in old programs and the like. Adding the '90s recruits seems to round out Michigan's efforts to pass the eyeball test so…
Five Stars: Kelly Baraka, Ryan Beard, Anthony Thomas, Justin Fargas, Charles Woodson* and Tyrone Wheatley
Four Stars: Ed Davis, Ray Jackson, Tshimanga Biakabutuka, Ricky Powers, Andre Weathers*, B.J. Askew, Walter Cross, J.R. Ford, Ian Gold*, Chris Howard, Woody Hankins*, Charles Drake*, Chris Perry, David Underwood, Pat McCall, and Clarence Williams.
* Back in the day fewer top high schoolers would transfer to football powerhouses, so a larger proportion of D-I athletes would come in as running backs or option QBs, since that's where you put your best athletes.
Rounding out this week in running back recruiting, Ace apparently didn't want his original Hello: Derrick Green post from July to go to waste.
ETC. Diarist of the week honors to EGD for the above and riffing on Bama's little huffing problem—read for hilarity and so you'll get all the jokes about "Spray" this week. Thorin put together Devin highlights. Baseball Recruiting Part 2: the Out of Staters.
Best of the Board
Onetime Globetrotter Bacari Alexander says stuff, and sometimes it catches on (ha!) Sometimes you are watching Big Ten highlights without sound during the MSU-Illinois game and Bacari has himself a hard-hat and is chest-bumping people. Or he has a long-handled sledgehammer and you are like "what are you doing with a hammer, Bacari?" Motivating. The answer is always Motivating. He's also a big reason this team is so damn fun to watch. You know what, watch that video:
"We all know the best Canadian shooter in the country is [Gonzaga's] Kevin Pangos. He's made seven threes in a game, have you done that? I've seen five."
You are watching and/or reading about Michigan basketball, and Nik Stauskas does something other than shoot™, and suddenly people are saying "Game…Blouses" on your favorite blogs and you are like "what did I miss?"
You missed a classic sketch from Chappelle's Show is all.
The closest Michigan connection—one degree—is Michigan man Mart Metcalf (Niedermeyer) in Animal House. But thee OP wanted to see if the blog could be connected to The Great Connector. This can be accomplished in just three degrees, thanks to a quarter of my head appearing for three frames in a movie with Bill Paxton. If extras don't count, my best friend at the time got a line—"Sorry I have to pass you Bethie, I want to win this one"—and appears in the credits, so it's four.
The real hero of this thread is Butterfield, who managed to connect us to Kevin Bacon via peoples' blog handles. I share, you r amaze:
Lets try this with MGoBlog posters.....
Odds are that someone who sits in (1) Section 1 suffers from (2) Diabeetus.
(2) Diabeetus care prescriptions can be filled at the CVS located at 209 S. (3) State Street
(3) State Street is home to Stairway to Heaven , where you are likely to find old vinyl LPs of artists featured on (4) The Quiet Storm. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quiet_storm
(4) The Quiet Storm style is often used to describe (5) Marvin Gaye's "Lets Get it On" LP
(5) Marvin Gaye's "How Sweet It Is" plays during the street party scene of the 1988 romantic comedy "She's Having a Baby", starring none other than (6) Kevin Bacon.
That was NOT easy.
Not counting the Fab Five, the last time Michigan's basketball team was #1 in the country was three years before I was born, however mGrowOld remembers them well enough to tell the tale. That makes Bill Frieder…

Let's all thank moderator justingoblue for building a new sticky to help you do things like blockquote, embed videos and pictures, or make a table in your posts.
ETC. Basketball moment of appreciation thread. Another. Mr. Yost's scouting report of the same. Odoms checks in to apologize for the delay on kickstarter stuff. One sympathizes. If you agree to write his C&D letter make sure you exempt us, kay? I saw "Johns Hopkins to B1G?" as a thread title and giggled then went to go moderate it only to discover this is srsly (for Lacrosse only, perhaps). Chris Brown's book's on sale. What's the hardest football position to play? Somebody find out which player asked his hatred of Ohio State to be published with exactly 50 exclamation marks. Should we try this? Yes.
That's actually pretty reserved, though I imagine in a newspaper column it would be all broken up and look terrible. This is why we win.
Your Moment of Zen:
I am as excited about Green than anyone, but we should not forget that we also have two other stud RBs in this class in Smith and Shallman (which kind of makes the whole "Hoke can't close good skill position players" thing kind of silly). Any of these guys could be a break-out RB for us.
Question for the MGoCommunity: With these three guys coming in, what happens to Rawls, Hayes, Fitz and Fleet? My prediction is that Fleet (assuming health) assumes the starting role during opening week, but shares carries with one of the new kids. If Fitz can regain 2011 form, over the season, I think that we see him and one of the newbies split carries somewhat equally. IF Fitz looks more like 2012 Fitz, then I think that by mid-season, he is the clear second RB, and only ends up with 10-15 carries per game. As for Rawls, he was billed as a power back. With all three of the new guys also fitting that bill, I suspect that he is buried way down the depth chart, and plays sparingly, if at all. Hayes looks like he will end up either (1) moving to slot receiver, where we are still a bit thin, or (2) assuming the role of 3rd down back, if necessary. Finally, Flet should still feature on special teams, and will likely remain on the defensive side of the ball. That said, if Borges wants a true change of pace back, Fleet could fit that role, as well.
Dont forget Drake Johnson. He payed his dues and deserves a chance to play. I think Green is only lock of a freshman RB to play. The other two will have to compete the hardess to earn some PT. I wouldn't mind reshirting the other two freshmen so we can see what we have at RB with what should be a better run blocking OLine
What you're saying makes sense, but I think it's important to remember that Borges has repeatedly stressed that he wants a workhorse back. One guy getting 25 carries every Saturday. So I think this battle will be more of a winner-takes-all competition. For my money, I'd say Green is most likely to win it, but Fitz and Smith also in the running (get it?).
I don't expect to ever see Rawls in a crucial spot again, to be honest, and i doubt Drake Johnson will really be in the conversation either. Not saying it's a sure thing, but when you consider his lack of recruiting hype and lack of insider practice hype, i just think it's unlikely.
Furthermore, i'd expect to see Shallman end up in a fullback/H-back type role and Hayes as slot reciever. Norfleet? Well, i like the kid's burst but i'm just not sure where he fits in for Borges' system. You'd hope a coach would find ways to get his most explosive guys the ball, but to be honest we've already seen that Borges isn't the most creative guy in that regard (see: Denard in the Ohio game).
As i write this, though, I'm thinking we aren't giving Fitz enough credit. He was a darn good runner in 2011 and i think 2013's O-Line will be more like 2011's than 2012's. And while that knee injury was brutal, it's become almost fightening how quickly and effectively top athletes can recover from knee injuries these days.
All told, i think Green, Smith or Fitz will win the battle outright by B1G play, Hayes and/or Norfleet will get some 3rd and long PT, and everyone else will be relegated to minor support roles.
May Deveon Smith, Wyatt Shallman, and Derrick Green become the second coming of Tony Boles, Leory Hoard, and Jarrod Bunch; minus the unfortunate, career-ending injuries.
Make it so, yes please.
The links to Odoms and the football recruit are broken Seth. Just thought I would let you know.
Thanks. Those are fixed.
You have Ricky Powers listed as a prehistoric 4-star equivalent, but I'm pretty sure he was considered one of the top few recruits in the country at the time:
Damn, nice find. I'd never seen anything like this--only remarks by Powers himself where he likens himself to some of the athletes who've played for him and the kind of notoriety they get.
Just watched the moment of zen DG highlights. Check out the TD against Umass at 2:45. Granted, he gets some help from a shove in the back, but he covers the last 10 yards in just three steps (one of which he is stumbling). 30 feet in three steps. Impressive.
...he covers the last 10 yards in just three steps. 30 feet in three steps.
A sasquatch is capable of performing this feat, which obviously means DG is 100% pure 'squatch.
Speaking of Devin Gardner. It's Friday, and everybody is happy!
Wow, I am very honored. There was some really spectacular stuff this week. Thanks Seth, and keep up the good work everybody!

The Lake Placid and Saranac Lake girls hockey teams had a combined five players named as 2012-13 Section VII all-star selections.
Two seniors were named to the first team, with Lake Placid's Kendra Manning and Sydney Battistoni of Saranac Lake receiving those honors.
Both players captained their squads. Battistoni was a reliable defenseman who originated much of the offense for the Red Storm, and Manning centered the Blue Bombers first forward line. She was a fast skater and always a threat to put the puck in the net.

Scouts take a "huge" trip to Whitehorse
Eleven Petersburg Boy Scouts; Skipper and Britton Erickson, Van Abbott, Brandon Ware, Chase Maxwell, Ryan Tate, Anders and Charlie Christensen, Nikko Larsen, Aaron Murph and Stuart Medalen; and three adults; Scoutmaster Jeff Erickson, Tom Abbott and Eric Larson traveled to Whitehorse for the annual Frostbite Challenge recently and had a "huge and awesome" time.
"We didn't actually make it to the challenge because the ferry from Juneau to Skagway was cancelled due to high winds and cold temperatures," Scoutmaster Erickson said. "We ended up staying in Juneau for four days before being able to go on to Whitehorse."
The Frostbite Challenge is an annual snow cave and igloo building competition between scouts all over the state.
"We would build the cave or igloo and sleep in it," Scout Ware said. "We may have missed it this year, but we will be able to go back."
With four days to kill in Juneau these Petersburg Scouts did not lose out on any competition. Scouts from Sitka, Ketchikan and Juneau were on hand to have a contest of their own.
"We had sled relay races, archery, a blindfolded sled race and hatchet throwing," Britton Erickson said. "We all had a really good time."
While in Juneau, the Scouts also had the opportunity to tour the capitol building and even sat in on a session of the legislature.
"They made the boys feel really special," Scoutmaster Erickson said. "Each of the boys was greeted and introduced individually and they even got the chance to witness a vote on an educational bill."
Britton stated that one of the things that struck him the most was that a representative from Barrow was wearing a necklace made of polar bear claws.
"That isn't something you will forget seeing," Britton stated. "As we were leaving we actually bumped into the Lt. Governor."
Mendenhall Glacier was another stop for the group.
"We walked from a waterfall to the glacier, which was about a mile," Britton said. "We even saw some mountain goats. We actually got really close to one about 50 feet away."
Ware explained that they were so close they could throw a rock and hit one.
The Petersburg group finally made it to Whitehorse after a three hour drive from Skagway and the temperature was about 20 below zero at night.
"It was so cold," Scout Ware stated. "We couldn't go 10 minutes without gloves and we couldn't work up a sweat or we would freeze."
During their time in Whitehorse, the Scouts got the chance to go on a sled dog ride with the Muk Tuk Sled Dogs.
"That was the best part of the whole trip. We had two guys on each sled and four to five dogs," Britton stated. "Those dogs were so strong and I think they were smarter than us."
Ware also commented on the strength of the dogs and was amazed at how fast they could carry two people and a 200 pound sled.
"The harness can hold up to 14 dogs and we only had four on our sled," Ware said. "If there had been 14 dogs on there we would really have been going fast."
The group of 14 from Petersburg had seven sleds, two people each, and one of the riders drove for about a half a mile and on the way back the other drove.
"We rode up hills and over bumps and the jumps were great," Ware stated. "We almost tipped over a couple of times, but were able to stay upright."
The Petersburg Scouts also took a trip ice climbing with Equinox Adventures.
"The tower we were climbing was about 30 feet high," Ware stated. "I didn't make it all the way to the top, it was just too high, but the zip line was great."
A zip line gave the boys an opportunity to cross a frozen lake.
"This lake was the size of Man Made Hole," Britton said. "It was really exciting."
Another adventure for the scouts was a hike into Miles Canyon.
"We walked across a rope bridge over a frozen river," Ware stated. "That is something I've never been able to do before."
Britton explained that they rested on the Yukon after they hiked down.
"Huge and Awesome" was the motto for this band of scouts throughout the trip and they still feel that way about it now.
"Every time someone would ask about the trip and what they were doing, they would answer, 'huge and awesome,'" Scoutmaster Erickson said. "I am very proud of these boys, they were perfectly behaved and never complained about anything."
Erickson also explained that several business owners commented on how well behaved the boys were.
"It was a great testament to the kids," he stated. "They are a good group of kids and these experiences will help them to become more independent and give them life skills that will stay with them forever."

if you are going to wheel with it you will probably want the d/r tranny....however, if it is in a street rig the EJ trannies are definately stronger. make sure if you do swap the trans that you swap the rear diff with it.

This design for Redmond City Hall reflects cutting-edge technology, outdoor lifestyles, ethnic diversity, and the Pacific Northwest environment. These qualities, as well as purposeful elements and details, are intended to make it an integral part of the community. The exterior features natural terra cotta tiles with warm golden colors. A wall of windows reinforces the notion of an exterior-to-interior connection, and implies the transparency of our governmental process. The soaring canopy entrance is supported by slender columns inspired by the Northwest's fir tree forests. Once inside, the atrium widens out, reaching four stories high. The area is filled with natural light and provides dramatic views of the Sammamish River and Trail. Also incorporated are intimate gardens, a large central park, and other areas where concerts, social functions, art exhibits, and community gatherings can be enjoyed by Redmond citizens.
