Meals on Wheels
Do you like meeting people and helping your local community?
Then we want you!!
Murrindindi Shire Council is looking for volunteers to join our Meals on Wheels program, delivering midday meals from Monday to Friday in Yea.
Volunteers are a valued and integral part of our quality community services. As a volunteer you will be rewarded with personal satisfaction and the appreciation of both the Community Services team and the very important recipients of our Meals on Wheels service.
If you are interested in becoming part of our team or for further information and a description of the tasks, please contact Sue McLaurin on 5772 0353.
Moving Murrindindi
Moving Murrindindi is a partnership program between Council and Community Accessability Inc.
The program, set to hit the road in August 2019, aims to connect volunteer drivers with senior citizens, people with a disability or financially-disadvantaged members of our community who might be in need of a low-cost transport option.
With three community vehicles – one stationed at the Council office in each Alexandra, Kinglake and Yea – clients wishing to use the Moving Murrindindi service will be able to book a car and driver through Community Accessability Inc.
Volunteer drivers will work on a rotating basis to get those in need of assistance to medical appointments, social outings or other major transport hubs.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer driver please contact Council's Moving Murrindindi Project Officer on 5772 0333 or Community Accessability Inc. on 1300 704 503.
Other Opportunities
Other opportunities to volunteer include providing assistance in our libraries or helping with some environmental restoration or assisting as a school crossing supervisor.
All volunteers will be expected to undertake an online police check.
Council is committed to provide learning opportunities through work-experience and vocational placements for people so as to gain an understanding of the requirements of their career choices.
This helps build career paths for people in our local community and also helps develop career paths and interest for people studying in courses that are required in our local government.
School based work experience
Council staff liaise with Alexandra Secondary College and Yea High School to facilitate work experience placements. However Council will try to accommodate any request from students in our community.
Vocational Placements
Council will consider requests for placement for up to 3 months to assist people to obtain credit and experience towards their course.
Vocational placements can only be offered when there is sufficient operational and supervisory capacity to support the placement.
The main requirement is that participants are enrolled in a course from a complying institution - universities, TAFE colleges and schools (public or private) and other authorised RTOs (Registered Training Organisations).
All successful participants will be expected to undertake an online police check.
Participants on placement are not employees and are not entitled to wage or employee entitlements provided under the FW Act. Depending on the length of placement, a small stipend may be paid to assist with expenses.
For more information on placements contact Liz Peddie Coordinator Human Resources or send your application to email@example.com.
Kinglake Ranges Neighbourhood House Inc. has a great volunteer matching website www.volunteermurrindindi.com.au which provides a one-stop portal for volunteering in the Murrindindi Shire.

Known for their musical ingenuity, extraordinarily long jam sessions and a large, loyal following, Phish tickets continue to pack venues of all sizes across the country. The band was originally formed at the University of Vermont by Trey Anastasio, Jeff Holdsworth, Mike Gordon and Jon Fishman. The group began playing in small venues around campus, but their popularity eventually led to Phish tickets getting sold at larger locations, allowing more and more young people to discover the different sounds Phish had in store.
History of Phish Tickets
In 1988, the group began to get more serious about their music, often locking themselves into rooms where they could play their tunes for extended periods of time. This technique has now been brought to the live stage, where the band jams and improvises for hours on end, much to the delight of their audiences.
While Phish has broken up more than once over the past two decades, the group is highly committed to their music and has scheduled numerous reunion concerts before officially coming back together in 2008.
What to Expect with Phish Tickets
Phish concerts are rarely brief affairs, with some lasting up to three hours or more. The song lists are never the same from city to city, so every performance is fresh and unpredictable. Phish is also known for involving their audiences in the act, so if you purchase Phish tickets, be prepared to play along with the band or dance in the area specifically reserved for those who want to rock out during the concert!
Lighting is an artistic wonder, with a mix of mellow and fiery light colors that keep the mind guessing throughout the night. Despite the unique setup of each concert and the extended jam sessions, Phish ticket holders are well versed in how this band performs and are not afraid to come alongside the musicians in creating a breathtaking show.
Who Should Attend?
While Phish tickets are typically sold to the 20-30 set, it is not unusual to see a much wider range of ages and demographics at one of these concerts. Former Grateful Dead fans bond with organic young faces that can't get enough of the extended jam sessions.
Because the songs tend to be long and wander somewhat, younger kids used to bubble gum rock may not appreciate the complexities and rifts of this music. For those who grew up on classics like the Dead and the Beatles, Phish tickets might be just the thing for an unforgettable night of music.

This is the first in a series of three articles I am doing on the works of Jim Miteff. He took hundreds of photographs of the Outlaws Motorcycle Club during the late 1960's and was also a founding member of the Detroit Chapter. In recent years, his daughter Beverly Roberts has put together two books of his photographs with a third due out this summer. She has been kind enough to provide photographs and background information for each of the articles.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said on Thursday that after the government at the Centre changes in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, a new policy to boost Indian industries will be implemented.
Her speech on the first day of the Bengal Global Business Summit was full of political overtones apart from a long list of her government's achievements in relation to industry.
The summit was attended by several industrialists, including Reliance Industries chief Mukesh Ambani and JSW group chairman Sajjan Jindal.
"I know the problems you (industrialists) are facing. But I can assure you that after changing the government, we will introduce policy that will boost the Indian industry and the Indian economy," said Banerjee.
Pointing out that the Lok Sabha elections are just a few months away, Mamata urged all industrialists who have left the country to return and invest in India.
"We have to face the central election (Lok Sabha elections) within a couple of months...The fiends from industry who have left the country I request them to come back to the country and invest in India," said Banerjee.
Taking a dig at the erstwhile Left Front government, she alleged that Bengal suffered due to the loss of man-days during the Left era. Banerjee claimed that during the tenure of her government that issue has been resolved.
"Due to the 34 years of misrule by my predecessor, the Left Front government, the number of man-days lost at that time was about 75 lakhs. But now (after Trinamool Congress came to power), we are proud to say that no man-days have been lost," said Banerjee.
The chief minister also said that Bengal has made significant progress in terms of infrastructure, skilled workers, land banks, uninterrupted power supply and is ahead of the rest of the country in several important fields.
"We achieved surplus revenue of 3% in March 2018 and India faced revenue deficit of about 17.9%," Mamata said.
She also said that Bengal's industrial growth, growth in the service sector and agriculture is higher than the national average.
"When India lost 2 crore jobs in a year, Bengal reduced unemployment rates by 40%," Mamata said.

GARETH Griffiths bagged a hat-trick in Llanrug United's pulsating 4-4 draw with Conwy United on Saturday but the Gwynedd club arguably had Mark Hughes to thank most as he netted in the dying minutes to secure his club a point.
In fact Llanrug let slip a 3-1 lead to go 4-3 behind before Hughes pounced in the 87th minute to level the scores.
The Pentraeth Honda Welsh Alliance clash at Llanrug's Eithin Duon ground started well for the hosts when Griffiths picked up his first goal just two minutes in.
The same player then made it 2-0 on 20 and that was the lead Llanrug took in at the break.
Adam Jones reduced the deficit little more than 10 minutes after the interval but Griffiths completed his treble on 64 to give the home side what looked like a convincing lead.
However, with 15 minutes left on the clock, Conwy threw everything they had at the Llanrug defence.
Paul Cassidy kick-started the goal frenzy with an effort on 75 before Lee Thompson equalised for the visitors after 80.
When Cassidy struck again seven minutes from time it looked as if Llanrug had thrown the game away but Hughes was on hand to salvage something from the game.
Pwllheli remain in touch with league leaders Rhyl Reserves thanks to their 1-0 win at Rhydymwyn.
The third-placed Lln outfit collected all three points thanks to Gareth Evans' first half goal.
Their neighbours Nefyn United were not so fortunate as they went down to a 1-0 home defeat.
BOXING Day is derby day for Pen Lln with Nefyn United preparing to entertain Pwllheli.
The two sides have experienced disparate fortunes this season, with Nefyn struggling near the foot of the table and Pwllheli impressing near the top in their first season at this level.

Labour seem to have nicked National's election playbook….from 2002. They are mounting attacks on anything that moves in utter desperation of their predicament. They simply can't see the wood for the trees. Trevor Mallard is flailing away on Red Alert smearing Don Brash as though he is the enemy, he is then in the House smearing people who aren't even politicians randomly in a desperate attempt to join some dots that don't exist. It is hilarious to watch.
Labour are essentially trying to re-run The Hollow Men meme. It might have worked in 2005 with mentions of American bag-men and the Brethren boogey-men but it won't run now. They are simply chasing their tails for relevance
Watch as Goff and Mallard get smashed up by the PM and by Lockwood in Question one today. labour just don't get it that ACT isn't the enemy, nor is Don Brash. They are simply playing into Brash's hands by continually talking about him. Right now any air time is good air time.
Heh…John Key suggested they hire someone like my hunting mate Simon Lusk to roll Goff.
Then I got mentioned again in parliament by David Shearer, this time on his beat up of a months old issue chasing Murray McCully. Again I have to re-iterate that if I could have gone after Murray McCully I would have, with boots on.
Hehe…Wayne Mapp suggested I was "woefully mis-informed". He doesn?t know who my sources are so was prob?a?bly ill-advised to say that. But then again he has spent his entire career being ?woe?fully mis-informed? so he is National?s res?i?dent expert on the?topic. He then denied ever reading my blog…to guffaws from both sides of the house.
Nice to know that Wayne Mapp isn't responsible for whether or not I am correct.
This beat-up back-fired on Labour though because Wayne Mapp slapped them back with an example of Helen Clark's use of a 757. Dumb, dumb, dumb…as I said before wood and trees is the issue.

Organizations big and small are looking for employees who can inspire innovation from within. When ideas are big enough, companies are willing to expand their product lines and create new ventures within an existing organization.
One of the most high-profile examples of intrapreneurship working well for a company is Gmail, which was created by employee Paul Buchheit during his "20% time", which is the personal project scheme that became a cornerstone of Google's reputation for innovation.
Simply put, intrapreneurship keeps companies competitive and relevant. It's also appealing to employees. Intrapreneurship gives you the ability to make calculated risks within the structure of an existing company while having the opportunity to innovate and work independently.
If you're considering bypassing a traditional career path and moving toward intrapreneurship, consider the following changes you'll need to make within your professional life before making the leap.
Focus on professional development
For professionals without a background in business management, it's likely you have gaps in essential areas of business operations and decision making. To be an effective intrapreneur, you must be able to prove your ability to make a plan, align with your organization, and navigate changes even through ambiguity.
If these tasks aren't something you handle on a day-to-day basis, it's critical to advance your skillset to help you achieve your goals. Consider two common ways to be considered for intrapreneurship, and the hard and soft skills you'll need to stand out:
- Hackathons: Many tech companies host hackathons to encourage innovation, and hope to land on a new product or feature their organization can run with. Hackathons are a microcosm of a start-up, meaning apart from technical skills, it's critical to showcase soft skills as well. Specifically, leadership, problem-solving, teamwork, sound judgment calls, and showing confidence without attitude.
- Sandbox funding: To acquire financing from your existing company you'll need to identify a market need, create a solution and effectively communicate why your company should buy into it. This requires skills like strong leadership communication, strategic decision-making, and creativity.
To run a sound start-up, or to land funding from your company, you may need a more comprehensive library of business knowledge than you currently have. By understanding your starting point, and what skills you need to acquire to reach your end goal, you can start making a plan to develop yourself professionally. Executive MBA programs are geared toward mastering the knowledge and vocabulary of the core business disciplines.
Zero in on innovation
The spirit of intrapreneurship is to create value within your organization through fresh ideas and thought-leadership driven by innovation.
So, how can you become more innovative?
Design Thinking
One way to zero in on innovation is through specialized training in design-thinking. Design-thinking is about making decisions based on evidence while maintaining an understanding of human needs and behaviors. Design-thinking uses a discovery-based framework to tackle problems by pushing ideas down the ladder of development:
- Uncover
- Develop
- Model
- Validate
- Advance and take action
Specific techniques to arrive at innovative solutions via design-thinking are:
- Ethnographic research
- Qualitative research
- Design sprints
- Foresight work
With design-thinking, you're able to think about business as "what could be" rather than "what is." If you've never made decisions based on design-thinking, it's worth investing in. It's one of the most common methodologies businesses use to solve complex problems.

Leverage your experience for incremental change
If you're starting down the path of intrapreneurship, you're likely focusing on a role change rather than an industry change. So draw from the experience you have in your current position and industry to make incremental changes within your corporation.
How do your past experiences open doors for new opportunities?
Think about how you can access small ideas that can solve an existing problem in your market. For example, if your current role is a product manager, much of your day is likely spent:
- Talking to customers
- Connecting interdepartmental work
- Practicing time-management
- Rallying support
Can you leverage your current assets to encourage innovation?
- When speaking with customers, is there a pattern, or a market need you can uncover?
- With access to customers, can you start to ask questions that help you solve a problem effectively?
- When you generate ideas for change, can you start to confirm ideas with a broader audience, like your customers?
- Are there colleagues who can confirm the viability of your product idea?
- How can you use your leadership and collaboration to push through barricades that might advocate against your change?
You already might have some skills that are important as you pursue a path toward intrapreneurship. If you don't feel confident in your ability to leverage change in your position, now is a great time to learn how to fine-tune your skillsets, and discover the next steps to bringing your product idea to market.
Master the art of operating lean
You might think becoming an intrapreneur is initially about creating a bullet-proof business plan and demonstrating your ability to size markets. But, it's much more than that. In the real world, there are pressures and demands to ramp up quickly and ensure that your final product meets market needs, while only having few resources to work with.
Even if you're operating under an existing business and may have access to more products, employees, cash, and processes that you would have as an entrepreneur, you'll still need to know how to operate lean because your resources won't be limitless.
To do this effectively, you'll need to learn how to:
- Analyze industry trends
- Evaluate marketplace factors
- Budget
- Value assets
- Evaluate risk
- Forecast
These skills are in addition to core business functions like accounting, operations, and strategy.
Learning these skills won't happen without diving in. Which is why having hands-on experience is a useful tool. Through MBA initiatives like emerging markets, and lean launch courses you can gain the hands-on experience you need to develop business concepts properly, receive feedback on products and analyze the life cycle and effectiveness of the strategies you put on the table.
Are you interested in making the career switch to intrapreneurship? Learn how an MBA from Berkeley can set you on the correct path.

12 Celebrities With And Without Their Signature Eye Makeup
Jun 24, 2020 12:30am
Ah, the transformative power of winged eyeliner.
Anyone who's dabbled in makeup will be able to tell you about the power of a well-applied slick of eyeliner, or the instant effect one wave of the mascara wand can have.
Whether or not you're a fan of eye makeup, there's little doubt it can completely transform your look (for better or for worse, in the case of our blue eye shadow days).
And for some stars, their stage presence or public identity is intertwined with their signature beauty look, whether that be bold false eyelashes, strong eyebrows, smokey shadow or a perfect winged cat's eye.
While they look just as gorgeous without their signatures, these stars also look incredibly different, and some almost unrecognisable.
Thanks to their stunning fair hair, or unexpected natural colouring, or even just a more pared-back, relaxed vibe, these celebrities are able to switch up their look simply by swiping a makeup remover pad over their eyelids.
Below, we round up 12 stars with and without their signature eye makeup.

Opinion and commentary- ENQUIRER and NEWS One press that is stilled BATTLE CREEK. MICHIGAN B-2 Seventy-fourth Year Sun., May 12, 1974 A mans size is determined: JS'ot by height or pocketbook, Or even by ivhat he says; Only by what he DOES.' -George it Givn by th Enquirer and Nwi for Significant Community Sorvic f The Enquirer's view Proximity to We are far from fulfilling Martin Luther King's dream of a promised land free of racial bias, but in the 20 years since the U.S. Supreme Court ordered the integration of the nation s schools, we have come a long way toward that dream. When the court, in its Brown vs. Board of Education decision, laid down the principle that separate but equal schools really weren't equal at all. it sparked two decades of change a time when whites became aware that the blacks beside them have the same dreams, the same apprehensions, the same ambitions, the same fears, the same hopes that they have. It has also been a time when the black American gained a new confidence in his own blackness and in the democratic system that enslaved him before it freed him. Looking back over those 20 years we remember great heartache and scenes of tears and shame. We also remember moments of greatness when men and women who cared about people, not color, risked their lives to bring down suppressive, hateful laws and to build brotherhood in their place. The progress gained has often been at great cost and the work that remains to be done won't be easy. The court said integration was to be achieved with all deliberate speed but it didn't say how and it failed to address itself to de facto segregation which is as damaging and as inequitable in its consequences as de jure, or purposeful, segregation. As a result, the concept of busing students from one school building to another was born and with it came opposition'from racists who don't want equality at all: from parents both black and white who Pride is at stake A Texas crawdad representing Michigan? Outrageous! It should never be allowed to happen! Michigan's crawfish ( or crayfish, if you prefer) are as big, as fast and as athletically inclined as any crawfish in the world. It just isn't fair to those who pride themselves on Michigan's outstanding wildlife to let a Texas-bred crawdad represent the City of Albion in the Texas Championship Crawfish Race. The citizens of Port Arthur. Tex., probably thought they would have a lot of fun at the expense of us Yankees when they invited Albion to enter the big May 24 race down there. They probably thought we wouldn't even know what a crawfish is. How wrong they are! We take things like crawdad racing seriously up here. Just consider, if you will, how much time our state legislators devoted to debating whether the ladybug or the honey bee should be Michigan's official state insect. We think the Greater Albion Chamber of Commerce erred when it authorized Port Arthur officials to choose a Texas-raised crawfish to represent Albion in the race, which is part of Port Arthur's annual Caj un Festival. We don't think that Port Arthur which, like Albion, is an All-America City will pull any hanky-panky. There is honor among All-America Cities and it is highly Write to these legislators When you wish to express your view s on state issues. MICHIGAN SENATORS Harry A. DeMaso (R-20th): State Capitol, Lansing 48902 MICHIGAN REPRESENTATIVES John P. S meekens ( R 41st) . Paul A. Rosenbaum (D-48th) , Dan Angel I R-49th, Wayne B. Sackett R-55th) and Dale Warner (R-5$th) State Capitol, Lansing 48901 a dream worry about the impact of busing on their children, and from the Congress and the President who label busing as ineffective and push for stronger measures against it. Also to be resolved are issues like the one in Detroit where a judge has ordered a desegregation plan prepared which would cover both the city and the suburbs. His order is being challenged. Also threatened is the concept of reverse discrimination in which members of minority groups are given favorable treatment in such things as college registration to compensate for past discrimination. The roadblocks confronting these integration tactics remind us there are hurdles ahead even though a majority of the nation's black children still live in racial isolation. In 1972, only 2.5 million of the 6.7 million blacks attending public elementary and secondary schools went to schools where minority students made up less than 50 per cent of the student body. Battle Creek in 1972 had three elementary schools in which the minority students made up more than 50 per cent of the student body. The order to integrate schools was made 20 years ago this week. In addition to mixing students in the classroom, it has resulted in a mixing of cultures and socio-economic conditions. But. the fact that segregation still exists, even in neighborhoods like Battle Creek, shows that just placing students side by side at desks won' t end prej udice. It is only when racial thoughts are banished from the relationship between one man and another that our nation will achieve the kind of brotherhood which Martin Luther King described as the promised land of freedom. A era u dad unlikely that Port Arthur would enter a dud crawdad to represent Albion. The point of our objection is that not only the pride of Albion but that of the entire state of Michigan is at stake in the race at Port Arthur. It is only fitting that Michigan be represented by a homegrown crawdad. There is still time left before the big race dubbed this year as the ''All-America Cities Race" to find and train our own entry. We're sure that there must be at least one person on Albion's AU-America City committee that would be willing to devote an hour or two a day to supervise the road-work, special high-protein diet and other training necessary to produce a championship crawdad racer. "On the brighter side. dear, this is the first time iff" get the advertised 26 miles per gallon I " Reading each other's mail In 1929, Secretary of State Henry Stim-son closed down the "black chamber" the State Department's code-breaking office on the principle that the way to make men and nations trustworthy was to trust them. As he later told aide McGeorge Bundy. '"Gentlemen do not read each other's mail." Stimson made that remark in 1947. after he had been secretary of war and had encouraged the establishment of a vast American intelligence community. To him. what was fair and necessary in wartime was wrong when nations were striving to construct a peace. Throughout the cold war. Stimson's words were cited as aquaint peep of moral, stiffness by an intelligence community convinced that fire had to be fought with fire. His words, treated as if they had been spoken in 1929. seemed an anachronism to those charged with ensuring the nation's survival. When novelists Graham Greene and John Le Carre wrote about the morally debilitating effects of the ends-before-means attitude of espionage, their books were read for their drama (the means more than their message (the ends). After all. the spy as jury, judge and executioner found roots in American traditions of justice in the Old West, when some individual sheriffs embodied the entire process of law. Now, however, in this period of detente, we view the adoption of totalitarian means to combat totalitarian threats as less than wise; as we understand that we cannot overcome our enemies by becoming them, we have stopped romanticizing the professional spy. The time of the thin-lipped Hunt and the hot-eyed Liddy is out of joint, for derring-do has changed to der-. ring-don't. Throughout the rise and fall of the romance of American espionage, one technique that permeated the profession was the science of eavesdropping. In the 17th It's not perfect, but it's better We are coming up now on the 20th anni-ersary of Brown v. Board of Education. Perhaps this white, middle-aged southerner may be permitted a few anniversary thoughts. In terms of its impact on our people and our institutions, the Supreme Court's unanimous opinion of May 17. 1954. was the most important opinion of this century. An arguable case can be made, indeed, that Brown had even greater social and political impact than the Dred Scott case a century before. And, ironically, Brown remains to this day very bad law. In a single stroke that morning in May. the court struck down the segregated schools of 17 states. Chief Justice Warren's opinion accomplished much more. It paved the way. and it created the strong foundation, on which an entire new structure of la w could be built. After Brown, the deluge: civil rights, voting rights, public accommodations, equal opportunity. The black child born 20 years ago this week, not only in the South but elsewhere, has known a far different America and with all its imperfections, a far better America than his parents knew. As a matter of jurisprudence, Brown still seems to me wrong. In essence, the court looked at the institution of school segregation and said: This is immoral, therefore it is unconstitutional. It was a monstrous non sequitur. The palpable fact is that when the sun rose on the morning of May 17, 1954, segregated schools were indeed constitutional. They had been constitutional for 86 years. Courts repeatedly had said so, . William Satire century, that word was coined to describe secret listeners who stood so close to the outside wall that they were untouched by water falling from the overhanging eaves: in the 20th century, eavesdropping was made easier by electronics, and to hear each other's conversation became the quintessence of "reading each other's mail." The willingness to listen in. to put the need of national survival ahead of the restraints of what Stimson considered national gentlemanliness. to penetrate1 personal privacy in order to preserve national' securecy, was second nature to Richard Nixon . He and his chief foreign affairs lieutenant, both children of the cold war, were determined to end the cold war, and a willingness to eavesdrop came with the job. Step one. using the FBI. The President and his men sure of the necessity of such action to protect the national interest began to eavesdrop on the men in the press and in the White House to find the sources of leaks. Step two. when the FBI appeared squeamish, was to create a "special investigations unit' ' in Room 16 of the Executive Office Building, which was willing to eavesdrop, or worse, in order to plug the leaks. Step three down the eavesdropping road was the transfer of the ability to eavesdrop for avowedly security purposes over to political campaign purposes, and the Hunt-Liddy team moved to the re-election committee. Belatedly trying to figure out what went wrong, H.. R. Haldeman explained to the President that John Mitchell The evidence is overwhelming that the 39th Congress never on earth intended the 14th Amendment to prohibit the states from operating racially-separate institutions. Such Northern states as New-York. Ohio, and Indiana continued to operate segregated schools long after the 14th was ratified. The United States Congress itself saw nothing unconstitutional in the segregated schools of the District of Columbia. But when the sun set, the Con- stitution had changed. Bad law breeds bad law. The teaching of Brown was that students could not be assigned to public institutions solely by reason of race. But in subsequent cases, having to do with racial balance busing, the court stood that principle on its head. The court now approves the assignment of children solely because of their race. The contradiction has yet to be resolved. Other judges, building their own bizarre constructions on Brown, have further distorted the law. Last January a federal district judge in New York, Jack B. Weinstein, found that the Constitution commands desegregation of the Mark Twain Junior High School in Coney Island. The school, which was 81 per cent white in 1962, had changed to 18 per cent white in James J Kilpatrick had grown so accustomed to eavesdropping that he must have lost his sensitivity to the illegality of wiretaps. When events of the previous year were being driven into the Oval Office, the habit of eavesdropping was so ingrained that it was natural for John 'Ehrlichman to suggest that he make a recording of his confro with John Mitchell. As the transcripts show, the President told him to go ahead and "gear up" for electronic eavesdropping, adding that he personally did not want to listen to the tape. The irony is so exquisite as to be unbearable: here was Ehrlichman suggesting that he eavesdrop on the man accused of authorizing the Watergate eavesdropping, unaware that his own conversation planning to bug the bugger was being bugged. That is the triple dead heat of eavesdropping, the royal flush or unassisted triple play, the ultimate hat trick a plot twist that E. Phillips Oppenheim would have blushed before using. The President's willingness to go along with the eavesdropping on all his advisers and visitors should not surprise us. seen as the final, massive dose of the poison he had been sipping steadily for years. It was not wrong, he felt, because it would be used for the right purposes for History, for Truth. I am not among those who think the President guilty of an impeachable high crime. An addiction to eavesdropping was his grievous fault, and grievously hath he already suffered for it. The man who was ready to eavesdrop to protect the confidentiality of his office was. in Hamlet's words. "Hoist with his own petard" a petard is a bomb, and this one has blown presidential confidentiality sky-high . Because Nixon would read everyone else's mail, we are now forced to read his own. hardly an edifying activity, and in so doing we see why Henry Stimson was right. (C. i New York Times 1973. largely as a consequence of changes in residential patterns. Judge Weinstein conceded that there was no evidence of state compulsion. There was no segregative design on the part of public officials. Indeed. "Desegre-gation was the goal of all." What happened was simply that white families moved away, and black and Puerto Rican families moved in. The judge saw this as a "'conspiracyexplicit and implicit of an entire society." He now has ordered every resource of the city, the state, and the fedral government committed to a draconian plan to drag whites back to Coney Island in order to "Tefertilize" the district with white child-bearing families. At whatever cost in money and in Social upheaval. Judge Weinstein proposes to compel the reordering of an entire community, just to change the racial balance of a single school. It is a disgraceful abuse of the judicial power. But if questions of jurisprudence canbe put to one side, the "road from Warren to Weinstein has proved a good road. Oliver Brown, Harry Briggs, Dorothy E. Davis, and other plaintiffs in the several cases were only children 20 years ago. They could not have known what a lasting contribution thev would make toward a better life for their people. Giving full account to the tensions, the hardships, and the new-abuses that have been created in uprooting the old way. it has to be said that this way is better. It is not perfect. It is better. Washington Star-News WUILLUW By WATSON SLMS Editor Cevlon is an island of waving palm trees and sandy beaches glistening against the blue waters of the Indian Ocean almost within sight of the southern tip of India. Ceylon is also an island with a problem between the press and the government that makes President Nixon's relations with the media seem almost calm and friendly. Ceylon the old name for what is now Sri Lanka i was part of the British empire which embraced all of south Asia for two centuries. It was always an enlightened spot for Asia, and today, for example, 80 per cent of Ceylon's 13 million people are literate, compared to 30 per cent of India's 500 million. An asset bequeathed to both Ceylon and India by Great Britain was the tradition of vigorous newspapers, based broadly on the Times of London. These papers were literate, enterprising and outspoken. Like the Times of London, they did not hesitate to .criticize the government if they felt this-wasjustified. Trie tradition is still carried on in India.. Watch the news closely, and from time to time you will read that the Times of India. The Statesman or the Hindustan Times, has spoken out sharply against some action by the g overnment. Prime Minister Indira Gandhi does not take such criticism as cheerfully as did her father. Jawaharlal Nehru. She has figuratively shaken a stick at the papers from time to time by such things as special taxes or controls on newsprint . But in Ceylon, another woman prime minister, Sirimavo Bandaranaike. has solved the problem entirely. Having earlier had two groups of newspapers taken over by the government. Mrs. Bandaranaike last month padlocked the doors of the Sun group, the last private newspapers left in Ceylon. Mrs. Bandaranaike said she was sorry she had to close down the Sun newspapers. But she said it had been necessary because they were '"spreading their invented or deliberately distorted untruths and halt" truths which they mistake for journalistic enterprise." The closing of the last independent papers in Ceylon climaxed a feud I watched closely during four years as an Associated Press correspondent in south Asia. To understand the situation, you will have to know a little about Ceylon's politics. Mrs. Bandaranaike is head of the Freedom Party, which embraces the left wing of Ceylon's politics. The opposition, em-" bracing the right wing, is the United National Party. The UNP is also known as the uncles and nephews, because there always seemed to be jobs for relatives of officials, when the party was in power. The UNP dominated Ceylon's politics immediately after the island became independent in 1948. It maintained many of - Britain's traditions, including parliamentary government, equality of religion and a free press. The Freedom Party was less ecumenical. It catered to the Buddhists who comprise 75 per cent of the island's population and had dominated Ceylon long before the British came. These two parties have dominated Ceylon's politics over the past 25 years. The real issues have been food and jobs, for this is another desperately poor Asian country. But always there has been an undercurrent of leftvs. right ideology. The island's newspapers sought to cover politics in the traditional western manner of giving both sides in the news columns and confining opinion to the editorial pages. Generally, however, the ownership of the newspapers was conservative, and "more often than not the newspapers endorsed UNP candidates. Mrs. Bandaranaike took this as clear evidence of prejudice. She also pledged that one day there would be a change. Editorial opposition by most newspapers did not prevent Mrs. Bandaranaike" from winning election in 1960. Among other assejs. she had the sympathy of the nation, for then she was the almost unknown widow of a prune minister who had been assassinated by Buddhist extremists. In 1965 Mrs. Bandaranaike presented a bill in parliament by which the government would take over Ceylon's leading newspaper group. There was a showdown in parliament over the bill and Mrs. Bandaranaike was thrown out of office. When I last visited Ceylon, in 1969, the UNP was in power but Mrs. Bandaranaike was again on the campaign trail. She won 'the elections of 1970 and has gradually-closed down or taken over all of the island's newspapers. After the last newspapers were closed down last month, one of their editors told the New York Times: "The government knows that there is a lot of discontent. They don't want anything published about what is going on. The Prime Minister has an idea that the press is inciting people and she is blaming the newspapers for whatever goes wrong." Mrs. Bandaranaike had another explanation. "The press has made governments and broken governments." she said. "It has made leaders and destroyed leaders. This sort of thing cannot be allowed to continue any longer." i A sober student of history might suggest that hereafter Ceylon's leaders will be allowed to destroy themselves! V

Well if you get hit and loose body parts, remember, you did it. Not one thing is on her. There's nothing wrong with her.I see what's on the line, Epic. It's not just a woman. The woman is feedback of my poor behaviours and doings. Right now it's not good. But it's not a catastrophe if we're hanging out in a couple hours from now.
I think I have the ability to turn things around. Because like I said, I know the areas where I've been weak and they can be adjusted fairly simply. Most of it is just allowing space. And somehow visualizing her as a cat. I have to accept and let her do and go when she pleases and not let that say something about me. Which I thought it did before.
I highly recommend you go for it. Fortunately this is not a fatal situation. When it starts running a little smoother and you at feeling secure again...move in with her or have her move in with you.
It will be cheaper for both. Just think, you will be able to capture her and make a go of it.
I support you and your goal.

University of California Irvine put the campus chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), a group that advocates boycotts of Israel, on probation for two years stemming from an incident in May where members of the group prevented Israeli soldiers from speaking.
During an event sponsored by a pro-Israel group, Students Supporting Israel (SSI), members of SJP began asking questions of the soldiers who had come to speak, and then started chanting "Israel, Israel what you say? How many people did you kill today?" and "Free Palestine," disrupting the event, The Jerusalem Post reported. A student in attendance recorded the incident in a video, which is embedded below.
"As soon as we heard about what happened at UC Irvine, the SSI national team got together and started brainstorming what we can do best," Ilan Sinelnikov, the founder of Students Supporting Israel told the Post. "We decided that the best way would be to apply massive pressure on the university, not only from within but also from the outside."
SSI and Reservists on Duty organized a campaign involving a number of national organizations including Stand With Us, Hasbara Fellowships, the Louis D. Brandeis Center, Hillel International, Amcha Initiative, the Zionist Organization of America, Hasbara Fellowships, and CAMERA.
"People were calling the university […] dozens hundreds of people asking about the solution to the case," Sinelnikov recalled.
The University's Office of Academic Integrity and Student Conduct after reviewing the video and interviewing the witnesses determined that SJP had violated university policy and put the group on probation for two academic years. SJP is required to meet with the dean six times a year to discuss free speech issues and must consult with the dean's office before hosting or co-hosting any campus events. A further violation of the school's policies could result in SJP losing its status as a campus group.
"UCI welcomes all opinions and encourages a free exchange of ideas – in fact, we defend free speech as one of our bedrock principles as a public university," the university explained in a statement announcing the punishment. "Yet, we must protect everyone's right to express themselves without disruption."
Although SJP has appealed the ruling, no decision on the appeal is expected for several weeks.
It is important that students see and understand what SJP really is, a group aimed at silencing the other side on a regular basis," Amit Deri, the CEO of Reservists on Duty, said. "The character of their activities threatens the principal of free speech in America."
Three years ago, the SJP chapter in Loyola University Chicago was also suspended for violating at least six community standards and intimidating other registered student organizations.
In On Many Campuses, Hate is Spelled SJP, which was published in the October 2014 issue of The Tower Magazine, Daniel Mael described the tactics of SJP:
SJP claims to stand for human rights, specifically the rights of the Palestinian people; and consistently portrays itself as an advocate for a just solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and solidarity with the oppressed.
But a closer look at the group's rhetoric and actions tells a different story.
Instead of promoting justice, SJP and/or its members spend almost all of their energy demonizing Israel, advocating for its eventual destruction, showing an unfortunate affinity for pro-terrorist figures, bullying and intimidating pro-Israel and Jewish students with vicious and sometimes anti-Semitic rhetoric, and even at times engaging in physical violence. While SJP may pay lip-service to peaceful aims, their rhetoric and actions make it hard to avoid the conclusion that a culture of hatred permeates nearly everything the group does—making the college experience increasingly uncomfortable, at times even dangerous, for Jewish or pro-Israel students. Perhaps equally disturbing is the limited response from university authorities that have an obligation to prevent such attacks and protect Jewish students.

By Hal Bernton Seattle Times staff reporter
SAVOONGA, Alaska – Derek Akeya hopes for calm waters and a lucrative catch when fishing from a skiff in the Bering Sea that surrounds his island village.
But on this windy late summer day, waves toss about the boat as Akeya stands in the bow, straining to pull up a line of herring-baited hooks from the rocky bottom.
Instead of bringing aboard halibut – worth more than $5 a pound back on shore – this string of gear yields four large but far less valuable Pacific cod, voracious bottom feeders whose numbers in recent years have exploded in these northern reaches….
For two years, the Bering Sea has been largely without winter ice, a development scientists modeling the warming impacts of greenhouse-gas pollution from fossil fuels once forecast would not occur until 2050. READ MORE

WHEN South Sydney are going well, rugby league is going well, or so the saying goes. If that is true, the NRL season should be a belter. Herald rugby league reporter BRETT KEEBLE reckons 2013 is the Year of the Bunnies.
Souths tick all the boxes. They have a massive, mobile pack; size and speed in their backline; proven performers Adam Reynolds, Issac Luke and Greg Inglis in the key ball-handling positions of halfback, hooker and fullback; and in Michael Maguire a coach capable of making all the right calls. The Rabbitohs would have gained invaluable experience by reaching the top four last year and getting within one game of the grand final. This year they can go all the way.
The Cows were rolling at the right end of last season and were a couple of dusty calls away from playing in a grand final qualifier against the Storm in Melbourne. Playing behind Australian props Matt Scott and James Tamou, and surrounded by a solid supporting cast, Johnathan Thurston will never get a better chance to win a premiership as ''the man''. They have made only minor changes to their roster and have all the ingredients to be there on the last night.
You can't kill the Storm with a stick. Every year, you wonder what might happen if Cameron Smith, Cooper Cronk or Billy Slater suffered a serious injury, and every year, they don't. And every year, coach Craig Bellamy gets the best out of his next crop of discards and desperates and they end up winning the comp or going close. History suggests they won't win again, because it has been 20 years since premiers have repeated, but they will be in the mix.
This was going to say the Sharks are title contenders, having added Penrith's Luke Lewis and Michael Gordon and Tigers Chris Heighington and Beau Ryan to a seasoned squad. That was until late yesterday when news services went into meltdown amid speculation Sharks players could be stood down after being interviewed by ASADA. Betting has been suspended on the Sharks-Titans game, and Cronulla directors met last night to discuss developments. Hold all tickets.
The old ''gotta lose one before you win one'' theory has been a myth in recent years. The past three grand final runners-up have finished 14th (Warriors 2012), 11th (Roosters 2011) and 12th (Eels 2010) the following year. Can't imagine Canterbury will tumble that far, but losing Dally M Medallist Ben Barba indefinitely wasn't a great start. Coach Des Hasler earned his siege mentality masters degree at Manly and will keep the Dogs snapping at the heels of the top four.
The air was heavy with expectation among Knights players and fans this time last year, but Wayne Bennett didn't share their enthusiasm. What's different now? The coach is confident his players finally understand what he expects of them, and he likes what he has seen at training and trials. The presence of Jeremy Smith, Beau Scott and David Fa'alogo alongside Willie Mason and Kade Snowden should ensure the Knights match muscle and mongrel with most.
Trent Robinson has a star-studded side at his disposal in his first year as an NRL head coach. He worked wonders at Catalans after learning the trade under Brian Smith at the Roosters and Knights. If he can handle the hype surrounding Sonny Bill Williams, harness the talents of Michael Jennings, and establish a combination between NSW half Mitchell Pearce and Warriors recruit James Maloney, the Roosters could give the premiership an almighty shake.
At full strength, Manly are title contenders, but they may not have the depth to plug the holes when their stars are injured or on representative duty. Glenn Stewart will miss the first half of the season and they had to shed some handy back-up players to squeeze Brett Stewart into the cap. Tony ''T-Rex'' Williams has gone to the Dogs, but they have added Richie Fa'aoso (Storm), Justin Horo (Eels) and Tom Symonds (Roosters). Are they still durable enough to go the distance?
The Broncos have welcomed back prodigal sons Scott Prince and David Stagg from the Titans and Bulldogs respectively, hoping their experience assists the development of some of their exciting young stars. After looking the goods for the first two-thirds of last season, the Broncos lost their way to win just two of their last 10, bowing out in week one of the finals. They now look like a good side but not a great side and can no longer be considered automatic finalists.
The Green Machine are harder to pick than a broken nose. Coach David Furner was apparently headed for the unemployment office midway through last year when they kept losing at home, but they clicked to win their last five games then extended that streak into week two of the finals. The Raiders have made minimal changes and will be desperately hoping playmaker Terry Campese and fullback Josh Dugan enjoy injury-free years. Should be there or thereabouts.
The Dragons appear to be headed for a transition year after losing heart and soul Ben Hornby and Dean Young to retirement at the end of 2012. They will need mercurial playmaker Jamie Soward to be close to his best every week, and new captain Ben Creagh and fellow forwards Michael Weyman, Dan Hunt and Trent Merrin to lead from the front, if they are to challenge for the eight. Coach Steve Price will feel the heat from fans if he can't keep the Dragons firing.
The Tigers were the biggest under-achievers of 2012. Talented enough to challenge for the title, they missed the finals and long-serving coach Tim Sheens lost his job. Mick Potter has been appointed to oversee a redevelopment program around stars Benji Marshall and Robbie Farah. But it will take more than the arrival of Braith Anasta from the Roosters and Eddy Pettybourne (Rabbitohs) to replace pack leaders Gareth Ellis (Hull) and Chris Heighington (Sharks).
Finished last season on an eight-game losing streak, including four straight defeats on home soil. New coach Matt Elliott appears to have his hands full trying to re-establish the 2011 grand finalists as a premiership force. They have lost playmaker James Maloney to the Roosters and forwards Lewis Brown to the Panthers and Micheal Luck to retirement. When the Warriors are on, they are skilful enough to dismantle any side. But on their bad days, they can be awful.
Ricky Stuart chucked in his NSW Origin gig to take on rebuilding the 2012 wooden-spooners. Long-serving Eels Nathan Hindmarsh and Luke Burt retired at the end of last season, and Manly's Darcy Lussick is the only recruit of any note, so Stuart will need his nucleus of Jarryd Hayne, Chris Sandow, Reni Maitua and Tim Mannah to provide leadership on a weekly basis. The Eels should improve, but not enough to feature in the finals.
Coach Ivan Cleary and GM Phil Gould are building for the future, but it looks like that plan is based around some short-term pain for any potential long-term gain. Well-paid elite players Luke Lewis (Sharks), Michael Gordon (Sharks) and Michael Jennings (Roosters) have moved on and have been replaced by less expensive journeymen and fringe first-graders chasing opportunities. It could take more than a year to establish combinations and chemistry.
Have lost foundation captain and spiritual leader Scott Prince to arch rivals Brisbane, and will rely on young halves Aidan Sezer, Albert Kelly and possibly Beau Henry to lead them around. Sezer (18), Kelly (14) and Henry (10) have played just 42 NRL games between them, compared to Prince's 278. David Taylor (Rabbitohs) will bulk up the pack, and they have speed to burn out wide, but it is difficult to envisage the Titans being a consistent force for the entire season.
HARD EDGE: Knights recruit Beau Scott will add muscle and mongrel up front.

Book Clubs Will Love This New Nostalgic Historical Novel
Judd Markley is a hardworking coal miner who rarely thinks much past tomorrow until he loses his brother--and nearly his own life--in a mine cave-in. Vowing never to enter the darkness of a mine again, he leaves all he knows in West Virginia to escape to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. It's 1954, the seaside community is thriving, and Judd soon hires on with a timber company.
Larkin Heyward's life in Myrtle Beach is uncomplicated, mostly doing volunteer work and dancing at the Pavilion. But she dreams of one day doing more--maybe moving to the hollers of Kentucky to help the poor children of Appalachia. But she's never even met someone who's lived there--until she encounters Judd, the newest employee at her father's timber company.
Drawn together in the wake of a devastating hurricane, Judd and Larkin each seek answers to what tomorrow will bring. As opposition rises against following their divergent dreams, they realize that it may take a miracle for them to be together.

The "tuner" badge is usually worn by youngsters with an interest in entry-level sports cars, and as they move into middle age, they often change their ways. Some amble into middle age and sell their S2000 for a minivan, and those that retain their need for speed sometimes move into something more distinguished: something German and four-doored, usually. However, there are some whose love for speed and modification don't die easily, and if they begin to bring home a little more bacon as they ease into middle age, they keep in touch with their roots by modifying not another hopped-up tuner toy, but a bonafide Audi R8 supercar.
One such man is Clement Ng, who wanted his German supercar to be more of a streetable race car. It's rare to see an Audi R8 modified to this extent—and even rarer to then see it properly thrashed on the circuit. No garage queen, this R8 sees regular action at tracks in the Pacific Northwest, and this heated duel with a track-specific NB Miata demonstrates the punch of the R8's 4.2-liter V8, as well as the limitations of massive power at a tight track.
Now spitting out 600 horsepower at the rear wheels courtesy of twin turbochargers, this Audi outpunches anything to roll off of Audi's factory floor. Plus, this particular car wears the skin of its more athletic sibling; a carbon widebody kit from an actual R8 LMS was sourced from Japan at great expense, fitted, and left unpainted. Underneath the carbon weave of the broadened haunches, Advan wheels shod in Toyo Proxes help provide the stick, as do the top-dollar JRZ shocks, Swift springs, and HybridAir system.
Something this exotic should have no issue dusting a mere Miata, but the Mazda's received some choice modifications to make it a force to be reckoned with. Gone is the BP motor, and in its place is a K24 from an Acura TSX. With a few breather modifications, the high-revving powerplant produces roughly 250 horsepower at the rear wheels with plenty of VTEC surge in the upper revs.
Now, obviously that figure can't give the Miata any hope of matching the force-fed Audi on straightaways, but The Ridge Motorsports Park is sinuous, technical, and perfect for a nimble Miata. Aiding it on this occasionally tight but fast track are Panda Racing coilovers, Swift springs, lightweight Volk TE37 wheeels, Wilwood Dynalite brakes, and a few aero pieces from Spoon. It's a potent package that, with the talented Kodamu at the wheel, manages to punch above its weight at The Ridge.
The aluminum Honda motor helps provide scalpel-sharp turn-in, so getting the Mazda's snub nose down to the apex in the many long decreasing-radius corners at The Ridge is never a huge challenge. Traction is strong, even out of hairpins, though wheelspin is always possible. That agility and manageable power is best demonstrated in Turn 6, where the Miata stretches ahead by a few car lengths (1:20). While it should be added that Kodamu is a slightly smoother steerer and ekes a few extra miles an hour through that long left, administering some 600 horsepower with turbocharged torque must be a challenge for Clement.
Without a doubt, it's the Miata that excels on The Ridge's tighter latter half and keeps the carbon-clad Audi from streaking away before it inevitably does down the front straight (2:45). Power is an advantage at this track, but the Miata manages to stay in touch in slower corners, namely through Turns 7-8, where a better line and far less torque allow it to claw back. When the Audi's given a chance to stretch its legs, it pulls away in supercar fashion, and even completes the lap with a lurid powerslide onto the front straight.
We've seen some pretty enticing Miata swaps before, but being able to keep in touch with a six-figure supercar with top-dollar track mods has to be the loudest ringing endorsement the K24 swap has ever had.
