HIV Screening Receives Federal "A" Rating
HIV Screening Receives Federal "A" Rating
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) issued Screening for HIV: U.S. Preventive Services Task Force Recommendation Statement on April 2013, endorsing routine HIV testing for all adolescents and adults ages 15 through 65, as follows:
- The USPSTF recommends that clinicians screen for HIV infection in adolescents and adults aged 15 to 65 years. Younger adolescents and older adults who are at increased risk should also be screened (A recommendation).
- The USPSTF recommends that clinicians screen all pregnant women for HIV, including those who present in labor who are untested and whose HIV status is unknown. (A recommendation)
The new recommendations are "A" ratings, meaning that routine HIV screening is now defined as one of the preventive services under the Essential Health Benefits (EHB) package that must be included in all new group and individual plans under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Under ACA, USPSTF A and B ratings (listed here) are included in the EHB package. Previously, USPSTF had assigned "A" ratings only for people deemed at risk for HIV and pregnant women, assigning broader HIV screening with a "C" rating.
The new recommendations are more in line with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) HIV testing recommendations issued in 2006, calling for routine testing for anyone between the ages of 13 and 64.
- See the Summary for Patients on the USPSTF recommendation on HIV screening.
- See the HIV Counseling and Testing topic page for resources on conducting HIV testing, including HIV Testing Training and TA Resources developed by the AETC National Resource Center.

The father of computer science
By James Dacey
His pioneering work in the 1940s is arguably the reason you are reading from this screen.
His code-breaking skills also helped to defeat the fascist onslaught during the Second World War.
His eponymous test to gauge the "intelligence" of a machine is taken as an essential concept in the field of artificial intelligence.
But rather than enjoy the fruits of his work in the latter half of the 20th century, Alan Turing tragically died in 1954 aged just 41, after biting into an apple laced with cyanide. Though there is still some controversy surrounding his death, the general consensus is that Turing killed himself after being given the choice of prison or chemical castration on account of his homosexuality.
Now, over fifty years later, a computer scientist is calling for the British government to finally apologize for the manner in which Turing was treated.
John Graham-Cumming has created an on-line petition, which includes the statement:
The British Government should apologize to Alan Turing for his treatment and recognize that his work created much of the world we live in and saved us from Nazi Germany. And an apology would recognize the tragic consequences of prejudice that ended this man's life and career
At the time of writing, more than 26 000 people have added their name to the petition.

As Washington waits to see if Russian President Vladimir Putin can cobble together a deal that will save members of Congress from having to vote on military action in Syria, the question is: Why now?
Why is Syria hitting the headlines in September when Syrian president Bashar Assad has been killing and starving civilians for years?
The answer: Syria is a welcome distraction from September's economic developments and October deadlines, which would be front-page news if it were not for Syria.
Obamacare: Come Oct. 1, Americans are supposed to sign up for health insurance at state or federal exchanges — which are not nearly ready. Without Syria, the papers might be full of stories about how Mary Jones, with three children and income just above the level needed to qualify for Medicaid, has lost her employer-provided health insurance and cannot purchase it on the exchange.
Obama's flagrant disregard for the law: Obama has moved several Obamacare provisions from 2014 to 2015. Employers will not be fined for not offering health insurance to employees.
People receiving discounts for health insurance will not have to provide verification of their income. Individuals' out-of-pocket health care costs will not be limited to $6,350 for individual policies and $12,700 for family policies.
Without Syria, many people would have been asking whether the president has the right to do this. They might also be asking why, if Obama waived these three provisions, he does not also delay the individual requirement to buy health insurance. Or, better yet, delay the whole bill.
The fiscal 2014 budget: Congress has not voted on the fiscal year 2014 budget, and the new fiscal year begins Oct. 1. Without Syria, people might be asking what is going on with the budget, and whether the sequester will still be in place next year.
Will Congress fulfill its obligation and pass a new budget, or face reality and continue current levels of spending, known as a "continuing resolution," for 90 days?
If so, will the continuing resolution contain the sequester? Will Congress delay the mandatory cuts to Medicare that are due Oct. 1? No one knows.
The debt ceiling: America will hit the debt ceiling between Oct. 18 and Nov. 5. That means that Congress, as well as passing a budget or a continuing resolution, has to vote to lift the debt ceiling, or America could risk defaulting on its debt payments.
Congress wants to put conditions on raising the debt ceiling, whereas the president insists that he has the right to an unlimited ceiling. Another discussion that is off the front pages due to Syria.
The employment situation: Disturbing labor force data released Friday showed that the reduction in the unemployment rate to 7.3 percent was caused by a decline of 312,000 in the number of people in the labor force, a substantial deterioration.
The proportion of working-age Americans who have jobs or who are looking for them — the labor force participation rate — has been falling even though employment has been expanding.
It now stands at 63.2 percent, down two-tenths of a percentage point from July — the same level as in 1978, prior to the decade where millions of women marched into the labor force. Another convenient subject to have off the front pages in September.
Scandals. Syria has also displaced discussion of the extra scrutiny the Internal Revenue Service was giving — and by some reports, continues to give — to conservative organizations requesting tax-exempt status. And no one seems to be mentioning the first anniversary of the deaths of four Americans, including our ambassador, in Libya.
Not a bad month for Obama to pick a fight with Assad.DIANA FURCHTGOTT-ROTH, a Washington Examiner columnist and former chief economist at the U.S. Department of Labor, is a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research. She can be reached at email@example.com.

Duplicate Voter ID card
The Election Commission of India issues Voter Identification card for producing the proof on the day of voting. It is only given to those who are eligible for voting that is all above 18 years of age. Voter's identity card comes in use in various applications to be shown as identification proof. It really comes in handy while you are applying for passport, PAN card, credit card, etc.
One can apply for voter's identity card by filling in the form 001 to get registered for voter's identity card availability and one needs to fill Form 006 to see their name appearing in the list of voters. Both forms can be filled simultaneously.
For those who want to apply for duplicate voter's identity card, they need to fill in the Form 002. Duplicate voter's identity card is issued in case the previous one lost. Before applying for duplicate voter's identity card, one needs to first file an FIR in the police station in their local vicinity. After one has filed the FIR, the photocopy of the FIR is needed to be produced along with the form 002 and after filling the form it should be duly attached.
A penalty of 25 INR is needed to be submitted by the applicant to the local Electoral Registration Office. The other documents required other than the photocopy of FIR while applying for duplicate voter's identity card are some kind of identification proof such as PAN card, driving license, ration card or passport photocopy. Also one needs to give address proof such as electricity bill, gas bill, etc.
Therefore, in case of voter's identity card is lost, one must avail the new one in order to vote without failing and duly exercising one fundamental right. It is very important to vote in a democracy and exercise once power to elect right candidate.

LOS ANGELES (Dec. 21)
The last resting place for some of Hollywood's famous Jews has been rescued from oblivion.
The cemetery holds the graves of actors Paul Muni and Peter Lorre; Mel Blanc, the voice of many popular cartoon characters; producers Harry Cohn and Jesse Lasky; composer Erich Wolfgang Korngold; and mobster Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel.
Beth Olam is the Jewish section of Hollywood Memorial Park Cemetery, which has been in bankruptcy for 18 months and earlier this month was close to being padlocked and abandoned.
Bankruptcy trustees had been fruitlessly seeking a buyer for more than a year and were ready to close down the cemetery when the Callanan Mortuary offered $375,000 for the memorial park and promised to refurbish the badly neglected grounds.
Actors Rudolph Valentino, Douglas Fairbanks Sr., Tyrone Power and John Huston; and director Cecil B. DeMille are buried in the general section of the cemetery.
The bailout came as a great relief to the city's Jews, who feared that they might be prevented from visiting and tending some 20,000 graves. Others faced the loss of pre-paid burial plots, crypts and mausoleum vaults.

Picture examples of various bodyfat levels:
As others have said, it tends to be first on, last off and I'm with you on the gut being the last to go. If you want to get rid of fat, it's all about the diet. If you're trying to cut, you might want to check out some intermittent fasting like Leangains.

I am neither of those. But with your bad self image and maturity level I can see how you'd be confused enough to stoop to that level.
I'm looking better, and getting stronger every day BTW. Thank you for your asking.
AFA serious? I've already gotten good advice. Cut diet, hard cardio (lots of it) to burn the fat and abdominal excercizes to tone the area.
No thanks to you.

1. You can't target a specific area to "tone" and lose fat from. That's stupid, which makes you stupid.
2. You're clearly full of **** and it probably took you close to a year to lose 12lbs. Or however many lbs.
3. I'm much more technical than you so I don't look at the forum from the forum view, I have a subscription feed that I look at and don't generally give a **** about what forum it is in.
4. You're still fat and fucking a child whilst having 0 clue on how to exercise/eat. You say you have budgeting constraints (haha you're poor) so you have to eat carbs. The thing is, you're a fatty so your body needs more energy to burn to maintain that squishy frame you've got there. So you're craving more food. How about have a little restraint and stop eating as much (also stop fucking children) and see how that gets you.
5. Nobody but me told you that you're exercising way too softly. So you're welcome.
9/17/2012 3:36pm, #27But I've still got a beer belly.
9/17/2012 3:54pm, #28
...or something?
Seriously, get hooked on phonics, or get your GED, or whatever the **** it is you need to do to develope basic reading comprehension.
So **** you.
See, the difference between us is I know that I am not weak.
I've actually dominated the violent encounters I've been in. I've shattered a man's face with one blow. I've thrown a guy that outweighed you by 50lbs through the air and into a moving vehicle. I've dropped younger, taller and fitter men than myself in one decisive strike (and watched them run like bloody hell). That's where my martial prowess is. I HURT people.
I'm not concerned with my "martial prowess". I can already win fights. I've been able to do that since grade school.
At this point in time I only wish to improve my physique. You're the one who's still on their self esteem journey.
Good luck with that BTW. You will be a much more pleasant person when you get there.
And you are not thanked.

I already said you're welcome. No need to further thank me.

I'm still stuck in parenting thoughts. Why is it that (it seems) parents have such a difficult time saying 'no'?
There's rarely a trip to the outside world that I don't encounter a parent repeating like a robot, "No." This followed by:
"I'm going to count to five."
"I'm going to count to ten."
"We're not going to McDonald's if you don't stop."
and so on and on and on and on. Argh.
And…all the while the parent continues the "no" word and the "threats", the child is throwing a tantrum.
And it just about always finishes with: "Okay, you can get it."
Nothing like rewarding unacceptable behavior. I've done enough animal training in my life thus far to cringe at the above.
Without a doubt, saying 'no' to a child is a challenge. But the parent who doesn't follow through is asking for a life of this. Daughter had one tantrum in a store. We left. We left the cart full of items, we left the store, and I didn't say one word. She got it.
One of the worst child/parent moments I ever had, involved the word "no". Back in the summer after first grade, my daughter had a play-date scheduled. These were very rare and I was counting minutes until I brought her to a friend's house and could have a few hours to myself.
I can't remember specifics, but she did something and I told her once to 'stop'. She did it again, and watched in disbelief as I called her friend's mother and said, "I'm sorry, but Hannah can't play with Jodi today." I cancelled the play date. I couldn't believe I did it; in fact, I cried along with my daughter because as desperately as I wanted that afternoon to myself, it was more important that my daughter understand that her behavior was not going to be rewarded. (Actually, I may have cried all afternoon which is why I remember it so well.)
We NEVER, to this day, had a repeat of that kind of behavior. 'No' means 'No' around here.
When I watch children and parents play each other as I described above, I remember that day way back when and am grateful, more than anyone can imagine, that I did what I did.

Ayscoughfee Hall in Spalding, England, was originally built as a home for wool merchant Richard Alwyn and dates to the 1420s-50s. The gardens are of great historical importance, because some horticulturists believe it to be a rare, possibly unique, surviving example of an early 18th century (laid out by William Sands circa 1730) town garden and has retained the integrity of its original boundaries for at least the last 300 years.
It is also rumoured to have its own ghost, "The White Lady," who roams the halls of the manor.

One and a Half Ice Creams
It was early lunchtime.
The outdoor trattorias were slowly filling up as we looked around for a good place, nothing too extravagant.
The first place looked fine, yet despite trying to get the attention of the guy who was placing people (making eye contact, that sort of thing), apart from grabbing him by the arm, he wasn't paying attention.
We moved on.
The next place was better, we got ourselves seated by a charmer of a guy who did grab us by the arm and we chose our lunch.
As the drinks arrived, we noticed that close by was a much better deal, pizza and a beer for 7 Euros – quite a bit less of a drain on our holiday spending money.
Slightly disappointed, we hung in there, had a nice lunch still with the lingering disappointment that we'd missed a trick.
The guy who had coaxed us in then made up for the price by bringing my wife a small ice-cream cone as an unexpected freebie, as I finished my coffee.
He was redeemed with his half an ice-cream.
Later that evening, I was aware that I'd not had my own ice-cream fix for the day, so after an unremarkable dinner, we made our way across the piazza to the brightest lit ice-cream shop in town.
As we were deciding what to have, the helpful assistant pointed out to me that my 'medium' cone, allowed me to have a second flavor on my cone.
Sometimes ordinary customer service is enough – then the unexpected , 'extra mile' service makes all the difference.
And even paying that little bit more becomes alright when you get more than you might have expected.

It's been read, reconciled and referred, so now Iowa's SF 91 only needs to meet the approval of the Transportation committee, which received it on April 12.
Iowa's Section 321.115, subsection 1, Code 2007, currently states that cars registered as antique—25 years or older—may be used "exclusively for exhibition or educational purposes at state or county fairs, or at other places where the motor vehicle may be
exhibited for entertainment or educational purposes," and driven "upon the public roads to and from state and county fairs or other places of entertainment or education for exhibition or educational purposes, to and from service stations for the purpose of
receiving necessary maintenance." Senate File 91 (House File 793) would amend that to allow for a little more driving—about 1,000 miles' worth.
If passed, your $5 annual registration will get you "other occasional uses not to exceed one thousand miles per year," which we
think is more than fair.
It's worth noting that Elizabeth Baird, the Iowa Dept. of Transportation's own lobbyist, declared against it, which suggests approval is not a sure thing. Go ahead and give her a call, Iowans, at 515-239-1641, to register your feelings.

Colorbar is one of the most affordable drugstore/high street brands in India. Their new launches are exciting and I always want to try them all. Initially when a product is launched they are priced reasonably and later it increases. I have mainly noticed this sales strategy adopted by Colorbar.
During my last visit to beauty shop I located a new display on the Colorbar counter. Obviously, I was interested and this new launch is a 3-in-1 eyeliner/kajal. You can either use it as an eye liner, kajal or an eye shadow. The concept and the swatches were so freaking amazing that I could not control ,but buy it. Before I complete the entire review of the product in the introduction, its time for me to stop.

LONDON (Aug. 29)
Surprise was caused here by a strong defense of the anti-Semitic Polish weekly I Am a Pole published in the official Polish daily Dziennik Polski today.
An unsigned article, understood to have been written by Polish Information Minister Stronski, a leader of the extremist anti-Semitic National Democratic party in pre-war Poland, denies that the Norwood England anti-Jewish disturbances justified Jewish complaints.
The article sharply-criticizes the Jewish Chronicle for attacking I Am a Pole and the Jewish Telegraphic Agency for publishing a report of these developments in America and thus creating anti-Polish feeling.
The writer says the Polish Government has taken a correct attitude toward the Jews and warns that "leaders of Polish Jewry know that every legitimate complaint or demand of the Jews today will reach the ears of the Polish Government but that if complaints are made to a foreign public they will have the contrary effect and cause the turning of a deaf ear to such complaints."
Bishop Gavlina, chief Polish Army chaplain, Marian Seyda, and Gen. Joseph Haller, ministers without portfolio in the Polish Government are among those who have written articles for I Am a Pole.
The new Polish Socialist paper published here, Robotnik, in its current issue denounces I Am a Pole for its attacks on former French Premier Leon Blum and Jewish Communists.

The combination of two of the twentieth century's most influential and revolutionary scientific theories, information theory and quantum mechanics, gave rise to a radically new view of computing and information. Quantum information processing explores the implications of using quantum mechanics instead of classical mechanics to model information and its processing. Quantum computing is not about changing the physical substrate on which computation is done from classical to quantum but about changing the notion of computation itself, at the most basic level.

Have you ever had a meal so good that weeks, months, even years later you can close your eyes and remember exactly what it tasted like? Have you ever eaten a dish so amazing that thinking about it years later made your taste buds drool? I've had a whole handful of meals that incredible.
I was recently asked by TheBesty.com to compile a list of 10 of those most amazing meals. TheBesty.com is a food site that where users keep track of their favorite restaurants and organize places they want to try around the world. Thinking about the best meals I've ever had wasn't easy, so for a restaurant to make the cut, my criteria was that I had to remember exactly what a dish tasted like, looked like and smelled like without thumbing through my food photos.
You can check out my list on TheBesty.com but I also wanted to include links to the posts dedicated to those meals here on Random Acts of Kelliness. So here are the 10 Best Meals I've Ever Had:
- Toque! in Montréal :: This tasting menu is easily the best meal I've ever had. I'd do just about anything to repeat it!
- Saison in San Francisco :: This two-starred Michelin-rated restaurant was just a little hole-in-the-wall when I experienced the tasting menu a few years ago.
- wd-50 in New York City :: I credit my first experience with molecular gastronomy here to throwing me into my obsession with food; I considered myself a picky eater before!
- Kichisen in Kyoto :: The traditional kaiseki dinner was one of the most incredible culinary journeys I've ever been on.
- Sushi Dai in Tokyo :: Arguably the best sushi in the world, standing in line for hours at 8 a.m. was completely worth it for the fresh sushi right in Tsukiji Fish Market.
- Neptune Oyster in Boston :: Another place that required hours in line before, this tiny seafood restaurant is the Boston in my mind.
- Les 400 Coups in Montréal :: My first dinner in the French Canadian city kicked off a weekend of amazing food.
- Avec in Chicago :: Something about this small plates wine bar tickles a smile onto my face when I think about it.
- Silver in Park City :: I'm not kidding when I say that I dream about the Braised Bacon with Maple Bourbon Glaze from here.
- Rogue 24 in Washington, D.C. :: 24 courses would make any meal memorable, but its creativity and taste definitely helped seal its spot here.
What are your most memorable meals? What made them so fantastic? Was it the food, the circumstances or the company? (I went strictly based on taste, but there were a few meals that the experience and those with me definitely came to mind!)

Al Gore is doing some media interviews to talk about the future, which is the topic of his new book. Interviewers tend to drift to a discussion of the recent past, however: the $500 million sale of Gore's Current TV to Al Jazeera. All along the mediological spectrum, he's getting hammered. Fox News's Bill O'Reilly lit up the environmental icon Gore for selling Current to a station owned by the emir of fossil-fuel-rich Qatar (Gore didn't appear); Matt Lauer on NBC's "Today" show cornered him quite expertly on the sale; and now comes Jon Stewart of the "Daily Show."
In a back-and-forth over the sale, Gore amplified his defense:
*He's "proud of the transaction";
*He did a lot of due diligence on it;
*As to charges of hypocrisy, well, Al Jazeera covers climate change like no other network;
*Qatar is committed to "renewable energy";
*Current TV was awesome, won "all the major awards in TV journalism," ran a profit "every year" but couldn't survive without a conglomerate.
On that claim about every award, Jeff Bervovici has a nice little fact-check.

Question: What is the difference between anonymous HIV testing and confidential HIV testing?

Does it matter where you choose to get tested for HIV? It shouldn't, but it can. Sometimes just having been tested for HIV, regardless of the results, can cause problems in other areas of your life. The stigma associated with HIV infection is high. However, there's also stigma associated with believing you might be at risk. Concerns about confidential testing have been declining over time. That's particularly true since universal HIV testing became recommended. Still, some people may prefer the anonymous route. It's the safest way to make certain no one learns you even got tested, unless you want them to.

Answer: The difference is whether the clinic officially knows who you are.

With STD anonymous testing, the clinic has no way to identify you as an individual. When you come in for testing you are assigned a number. You then use that same number to receive your results. Your name is never associated with your test results. You are the only person who knows what they are.

In contrast, with confidential testing, although your results are kept private, your name is associated with them. They may be released to your insurance company, health care provider, or even the state or local government. HIV is, after all, a nationally notifiable disease.

Making HIV Testing Universal

With changes in the American healthcare system, more and more people are receiving HIV tests as part of their regular care. That's a very good thing. The CDC has worked to improve HIV test coverage. It's really important, because people who are undiagnosed are at greatest risk of passing on the virus. They're also unable to benefit from treatment advances that can help them live long healthy lives.

These changes have also reduced concerns about anonymous versus confidential testing. In particular, as insurance companies can no longer deny coverage for pre-existing conditions, it's much less of an issue if they find out that their clients have HIV. However, some people still prefer to be as cautious as possible. .

Although anonymous HIV testing is still available, sometimes it's easiest to just get tested by your doctor. That way it may be easier to access early treatment options that can greatly improve your life. On the other hand, if you're concerned about your doctor being able to care for you without stigma, it's perfectly reasonable to go to someone else. Some doctors are bad at dealing with STDs, and quality HIV care requires knowledge of current options.That's why, if you have any choice in the matter, it's a good idea to get your HIV care from a doctor who does a lot of it.

The Provisions of Learning Disability Services Centers
There are many unfortunate people in the world; the disabled, the orphans, the widowed and those afflicted with learning disabilities. Hence, it is important to extend care and support in every way to these groups of community as they deserve a meaningful and quality life too. There are some noble learning disability services and disabled centers that are set up across the world in every nation to cater to the pressing needs of these communities.
Many of these learning disability services centers have noble objectives. They are set up by volunteers and NGOs to work with those who have learning disabilities in the hope of offering a better quality of life for them.
Every person with learning disability is important; hence, the right support tools and techniques are employed to equip these individuals to get the best in life for themselves as many of these individuals do not write, read or speak. The best communicative approach is to be undertaken to encourage these individuals to communicate the way they are most comfortable with. Learning disability services centers hinge on that objective.
Trained Staff
In order that learning disability services providers offer the best support to the needy community, there must be trained and qualified staff to work with the individuals with learning disabilities. Support staff can be volunteers or paid depending on the altruist values of the workers.
They must be qualified in a relevant field like psychology, medicine or education before being trained on working with individuals having learning disabilities.
Besides having workers in the learning disability services centers, there must also be the important partnerships with other groups of authorities and society to ensure success of the centers. These include local governing authorities, deaf and dumb associations, commissioning bodies, merchants and corporations.
Every partnership is relevant with a huge contribution potential to the success of any learning disability services provider or center. Each partner can contribute in providing high quality and relevant tailored solutions according to its resources and expertise in supporting individuals with learning disability.
Scope of Support
Learning disabilities services centers offer a wide scope of support ranging from a couple of hours in the individual's home to 24 hours care in any registered care home. Support can be in the form of finances, emotional, communication, spending quality time together, personal care, healthcare, domestic tasks and mental wellbeing.
Learning disabilities services also include working and liaising with families, caregivers or parties involved in decision making. Practical support is usually advocated to impact the individuals with learning disability.

Senator JOYCE (Queensland—Leader of The Nationals in the Senate) (10:39): This bill, the Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry Legislation Amendment bill (No.1) 2012, makes a number of changes to the acts that relate to agriculture, fisheries and forestry legislation, including the Wine Australia Corporation Act on which we have heard from Senator Edwards some very detailed deliberation; and the Fisheries Management Act, with a direction to close a fishery under statutory fishing concessions. I should note that Australia is overwhelmingly now an importer of fish. I think about 72 per cent of our fish is now imported, which is a disgrace. It is absurd that we have countries outside our zone collecting vastly more fish than we do. Basically we are creating a mechanism to feed Taiwanese and Papua New Guineans and whoever else wishes to turn up with their fishing vessels. We should have a greater capacity to manage our own fishery and to provide for the Australian people more of their own fish. We have heard even lately the huge concerns out there about the use of excessive antibiotics in farmed fish, especially coming out of Vietnam. This causes real health concerns in Australia. The Australian people should be aware that if you want to create a mechanism for the consumption of a superbug you are going about it the right way if you are consuming fish that come from an area where there has been an excessive use of antibiotics, so that you basically create an environment where the only form of bacteria that will survive will be the one that is resistant to antibiotics and you have served it up with peas and carrots at your dinner table. I do not think that is a very clever way to do business. What I would be doing is consuming fish caught from the wild in Australia which has all the natural forms of challenge and response affecting its life as opposed to what you are getting when you are buying a product that is imported. It might look like the domestic product but I can assure you it is totally and utterly different. So we have a role in the future to start informing the Australian people about the fact that we have a better product, that there is the capacity for a better utilisation of our fishery resource and to make sure we using more of that to feed the Australian people with a product they wish to purchase.
The legislation also deals with the Fisheries Administration Act and the Primary Industries Levies and Charges Collection Act, which is basically going to enable the secretary to remit all or part of a penalty imposed for the late payment of the levy or charge. It also deals with the Farm Household Support Act to remove specific references to departments and secretaries. The coalition supports these changes because they streamline administration and reduce costs for the industry in some instances. But it is unfortunate that this bill is not reflective of the government's broader approach to our primary industries. Australia's agricultural exports still account for more than 20 per cent of our exports.
We have to realise that we should never get confused between the GDP argument and where the money in reality actually turns up. In the chamber here at the moment there are seven senators, eight with you in the chair, Mr Acting Deputy President. If we have a case where someone brings in $10 and spins it around to every senator in this chamber, they say, 'Whoopee, the GDP of this chamber is now $80.' That sounds great. They will say, 'That is $80 and around 88 per cent of it came from all those people inside the chamber, who are the service sector. Therefore the service sector is incredibly important.' But the reality is that if the gentleman in the chair had not put his $10 forward first then no-one in the chamber would have any money, because it is that money that has been spun around. So the actual delivery of money into the economy, the actual delivery of funds in a primary source, is vitally important for the economic sustenance of this nation, and 20 per cent of that comes from the agricultural sector. Then you have mining, obviously Australia's biggest export. It is for our own survival as a nation that we must be cognisant of where primary industry is going and we must make sure it is sustained. I know the farming sector has always been the harbinger of people who have generally got a gripe. I grew up in that sector and I am still part of that sector. But now there really is a problem. We are losing farmers. They are going out the back door. I went to Western Australia and spoke to farmers there. I went there as a politician and I came away feeling like a psychologist. It is quite disturbing how much under the pump they are. In the wheat industry they have been frosted and they are dealing with the corruption of global world prices by reason of a manipulated global currency. In Western Australia they had the live sheep trade, but of course those in the radical environmental movement want to shut down the live sheep trade. We are just making people destitute. We are making them poor. We are destroying their quality of life—and, in so doing, we are doing it to ourselves.
There are 134,000 farm businesses in Australia and there are 307,000 people employed in Australian agriculture. That is vastly more than is employed in the mining industry—vastly more. People are always thinking that the farm sector does not pull its weight, but from 1974-75 to 2003-04 it grew just shy of three per cent per annum. It was consistently outperforming other sectors. So, when you are looking for productivity increases, the farming sector—when it has the right government policy surrounding it—will actually deliver it. When I started in the cotton industry, we used to budget on 2.7 bales to the acre. There are 2.471 acres to the hectare, but we were still working on acres. So it was about 2.7 bales to the acre, and with that it was thought that you were doing the job well. Now it is four bales to the acre. Imagine if we could do that in other sectors of our economy. The economy would boom. We have been doing that in agriculture.
I remember when there was a discussion about GPS. They were going to GPS for the delivery of the chemical requirements of the land, because we needed to save money. If you look at the scope and structure and carcass size in the abattoirs, you see that it has gone up immensely. The marbling content has gone up immensely. The quality of the product has gone up immensely. There have been real productivity increases, but we cannot be constricted by certain regulations which are more emotive than realistic. The inclusion of buffel grass into the pasture in red soils has given us an incredible increase in the capacity for the delivery of protein per acre off country which otherwise is not able to deliver an outcome. There have been watering issues. In my own family hundreds of thousands of dollars have been spent on piping and boring groundwater to save that resource. That is why we get so hot under the collar when we hear about coal seam gas and other people utilising the resource without the same sanctity with which we hold that water resource. These are the things that agriculture has been delivering.
This has been one of our strengths for so long but we are now losing farming families. There are 100,000 fewer farming families now then there were 30 years ago. Even the size of our agricultural area is reducing. In 1980 we had about 496 million hectares of farming land. In 2010 there was just shy of 400 million hectares. We have lost about 100 million hectares of farming country. If we look anecdotally at one of the industries that was at one stage the key of the providence of this nation we see that in 1980 we had 136 million sheep and in 2010 we had 68 million sheep—and it is going down even more.
This is a sign that our policy structure is not correct. There is an epiphany we have got to have as we go stammering and tripping along to an election, who knows when. If we want to have a real debate—something that the Australian people will be engaged with—another area that we should be looking at is farm policy. We need to look at how we make sure that we keep these people on the land, how we make sure that we give a fair return to people on the land and how we make sure that we are part of a process that actually deals with issues. Anybody can have empathy. Empathy is easy. Just stick on a pair of elastic-sided boots, put on an akubra and talk out the side of your mouth and you have got empathy all worked out. But that just does not cut it.
What people are looking for now is policy that is going to address the needs and requirements of the industry to bring a future back into agriculture. The only way that you will get a future in agriculture is if you are determined to bring about a fairer outcome at the farm gate. There are a range of things that have been working against us at the farm gate. First and foremost we have the dollar. We have the United States which is in a period of quantitative easing; we have the Chinese who have basically manipulated their currency and tied it to the Americans who are printing their own dollars; we have the Europeans who are in a period of quantitative easing and subsidies; and we have England quantitatively easing.
We have to starting asking the question: are we going to be pure in debt? Are we going to be the people who never broke a rule but we all went broke? The return at the farm gate is getting smashed by the global corruption in the currency market. What is the government's policy for this? How are they going to deal with this? Coming up with a constructive outcome in that area would be vastly beneficial. You can do that in a Giorgio Armani suit with Jimmy Choo shoes on, and that is going to be a vastly better outcome than wearing an akubra hat and elastic-sided books and not having anything really to say.
There is also the exploitation of the farmer by an overcentralised retail market. In the past it was like: 'Oh, we can't talk about that.' Well, we have got to talk about that. It is just unnatural. We are the only place in the world that has the form of centralisation that we have got—except North Korea. It has probably got more centralisation than us. But, apart from that, we are it. There is nothing wrong with a company being powerful—good luck to Coles, good luck to Woolworths; well done—but there is a problem if they use that market power for the exploitation of the farmer. We have a Competition and Consumer Act that talks about the competitive stresses between two competitors in a market, but it does not properly address the exploitation between the supplier and the retailer. It does not properly deal with that relationship. We should have a policy discussion—the coalition has a root-and-branch review, but that is a policy discussion that the government should also be engaged in. How do we go about bringing a fairer term back to people?
The obvious example out there is $1-per-litre milk. You cannot produce milk for a $1 a litre—not on the farm. By the time the processer has had a chop at it and the retailer has had a chop at it, it is corrupting the marketplace. The retailers say, 'We're not affecting the farm price,' and they are right, because they buy it off the processer. The processor says, 'We can't do anything about it because we're supplying the retailer.' And the farmer just suffers. We have to go into the space and say that we want Coles and Woolworths to survive, prosper and thrive, but we cannot do it at the cost of exploitation of people on the land. We cannot have people turning up with the unilateral variation of contracts. If we did it to a wage and salary earner there would be an outcry. Imagine turning up to a wage and salary earner and saying: 'You know how I was paying you $800 a week last week? This week I've decided I am going to pay you only $300 a week, and I know you have nowhere to go.' If we did that to individuals people would be disgusted, but that is happening to farmers and we are all sitting back and saying: 'Oh, that's shocking, but we can't say anything about it. We can't interfere in the market.'
When there is exploitation it means that the market principles are not at work. The situation is devoid of the market principles, and when it is devoid of market principles then you have a role for bringing about fairness. If there were ease of entry, ease of exit, transparency in negotiations, multiplicity of players—with those sorts of terms you could say, 'I'll walk,' but farmers cannot do that, especially in the horticultural sector. Tomatoes, peas, carrots, onions—those farmers get held over a barrel. They are terrified to talk about it because they know that if they talk about it and the major retailer finds out about it then they will get cut out and go broke. We found out that the average price a dairy farmer is working for is $7 an hour. Who in this building would work for $7 an hour? Who in Australia these days would work for $7 an hour? If you want to look after working families then where is the policy that deals with that?
We need new infrastructure and we need to open up new areas of irrigation. We need to have a future. There is a great capacity, especially in the north of this nation and with the utilisation of genetic modification in some areas, for the advancement of agriculture in these areas. You cannot say: 'I'm a friend to the farmer but I don't want any new farming areas. I'm a friend to the farmer but I don't believe in the live cattle trade. I'm a friend to the farmer but I want to make life even tougher for the people of south-west Western Australia who are dealing with the live sheep trade. I'm a friend to the farmer, but I believe it is morally justifiable that some Australians today, in the year of our Lord 2013, are getting paid $7 an hour.' That is not being a friend to anybody. If we are going to be fair dinkum about this we have to have an holistic view and say, 'Right, we're going to walk into this space and before this election we will make sure we are not talking about who said what to whom, and having some peripheral personality discussion in the election, but that we will be having a discussion about concrete policy issues that involves the Australian people and that brings us to a conclusion that is a betterment to the agricultural sector, because the Australian people need the agricultural sector.' We really do need it.
We have to look at the ethos of it. In my own small way I am trying to be part of the dams task force to build dams and create another mechanism of investment in agriculture, and I think that is positive. We have to touch base with the marketing department in trade. We are having real problems. It is no good going over to Beijing, Taipei, Tokyo or Seoul and coming back with photos full of happy, smiling people drinking cups of tea, but with no contract. You have to come home with something hard, something that shows you have opened up the market, something that shows a new form of advantage. We cannot develop new agricultural areas if we cannot move the product. We have to be able to follow that through, and that is something that needs a succinct group of people who work as closely with the Prime Minister as possible, who have the capacity and the runs on the board to deliver trade outcomes. We have to get them to work.
Minister Craig Emerson is supposed to be the trade minister, but what has he ever brought back? What has he ever delivered as a trade outcome? What is a deal that he has structured for us? If he were good at his job then farmers would be doing it better, but they are not—he has failed. Whenever I think of Dr Craig Emerson I have a picture of a man doing a dance in our courtyard. I cannot get it out of my head. I cannot see how he could be the trade minister. Now we have Minister Kelvin Thomson assisting him. The last thing I remember about Minister Kelvin Thomson is that he wanted to shut down the live cattle trade. In fact, he was playing his banjo at the Midwinter Ball and shutting down the live cattle trade. This is not much use to us. This is not much of a help. To give him his due, in the past Minister Simon Crean was not a bad agricultural minister, but we do not have him now. And Minister Burke has enough problems of his own at the moment.
We have to engage in this discussion about how a farm sector that is truly under the pump can be picked up and moved forward. All Australian people look to the farm sector as representative of how competent we are. They empathise with people on the land because they know they do it tough—and they do. They recognise that every farmer is also an agronomist, a veterinarian and a diesel fitter, and they do it for nothing. People recognise that they have done what the nation has asked of them: they went out west and scratched a living out of the dirt to provide a providence for this nation. We owe it to that farm sector to go back to that space right now and start coming up with a farm policy to bring forward at the election so that we can deliver a better horizon for them right now.

Microsoft and Google are Letting Apple Win
John Dvorak, PC Magazine
AP Photo
There are a lot of mispriced products out, and their cost will do nothing more than hurt sales. The Surface Pro tablet, which Microsoft announced pricing details for today, is a good example.
The Surface Pro is the long-awaited Microsoft tablet that runs x86 Windows 8 and thus all of the Windows software out there that normally runs on the desktop. It costs $899 for a 64GB model and $999 for a 128GB model. For much less than that, you can buy a loaded real PC and it will do a lot more, albeit in a stationary location.
This tablet will compete with the iPad, the Surface RT, the Nexus 10, and various tablets from Acer and the likes.
TAGGED: Surface, iPad, Tablet

Oh, but mommy, I want to feed the troll! This one looks so cute!

My argument is that Danny's letter is somewhat unanswerable, except in the way the goodman Tony did. This is mostly because of the completeness of Danny's thoughts, but also because

Firstly, there is quite a lot of talk about point #2, this was just new information that I'm sure will find it's way into future conversations; what Danny wrote here requires no new conversation, just a continuation of our current ones. Maybe, maybe it would be appropriate for me to talk about the time I had to ask the grocery store to let me into the basement so I could close the elevator door that a person sleeping down there had neglected to shut, like a dumbass, but it's not going to add much to the conversation except stoke more hatred against the oogles.

Point #1 is unanswerable, except by people saying things like "Oh, I donated $1000 on the New Year, so suck it Danny", or "When I'm a member, we'll see about donations", or "I'm really fucking poor and have child support payments, and I'm a month behind on rent", or "I was going to give money (not really), but then I decided, 'Suck it Danny'". None of these are particularly appropriate, and would be best left unsent. If there any positive response to point #1 other than a quiet donation or a mention of our financial state off list, I'd like to hear it.

OK,OK; let me apply my generous brain to this problem.... umm... fundraiser! how have fundraisers done for nb? Do we know any bands? Do we have any good personal relationships with local bars that could kick down a keg or two? Do we know any tattoo artists? How does the landlord take to large, late night parties, how do the police? What can we offer as a token of our regard for attendees? Should we do a raffle or a grab-bag? How will we handle people who think the whole party "should be" free? Does anyone want to help organize this?

Point #3 is a hard one to talk about, and people who are comfortable talking about how cool the panopticon is or how to get our free phone up and working again may not be comfortable talking about depression. As one who has been forced into this topic by more comrades offing themselves than I have fingers to count them with, I am not one of those people, so here is what you're going to get:
 The whole subject demands the generation of novel ideas, often tailored to the individuals at risk; such novel ideas, unfortunately, are the signature thing a depressed person lacks. I don't know what response you are looking for wrt "be excellent to each other", but demanding novel solutions of the group is going to get you no-where. Enhanced communication and caring for each other is about the only way to improve our lot as a whole; I'd combine those two into "expressing our appreciation and love for each other more honestly", but in response to you, that would just be snotty, wouldn't it?

Lastly, your writing is reminiscent of a yapping Pomeranian; I sincerely hope you use some other account to write more constructive letters.

At least 50 passengers, including children, and up to six hijackers died in the gunfight and explosion which followed the decision to send in the troops.
The crisis began two days ago after gunmen took control of the passenger jet ten minutes after take off from Athens airport.
The hijackers forced the captain to divert to Malta, where the plane landed on a remote runway of Luqa Airport, near the capital, Valletta.
The plane then sat on the runway for 24 hours while the Maltese authorities tried to negotiate the release of the hostages on board.
Hostages released
The hijackers released some of the hostages soon after arriving, including two wounded stewardesses and some Filipino and Egyptian women.
But shortly afterwards they brought an Israeli woman to the doorway and, without warning, shot her in the head.
A second woman was shot the following morning, and a third, also Israeli, later in the day.
Two more bodies - both killed on board the plane - were also pushed out onto the tarmac.
One of the survivors, Julie Moldes, described the scene on board the plane.
"During the gun fighting everyone hid their faces in their hands and behind seats.
"They were constantly aggressive, waving guns and shouting in everyone's faces but all the passengers kept quiet, not daring to speak or move."
Finally the Maltese Prime Minister, Carmelo Mifsud Bonnici, authorised the storming of the plane.
The commandoes began the operation by putting up a smokescreen before blowing open the luggage hold at the rear.
When they opened fire, the hijackers threw hand grenades in their direction, causing an explosion which then engulfed the plane in flames.
Eyewitnesses spoke of a loud bang preceded by a flash which lit up the sky above the Boeing 737.
The hijack has been a source of some embarrassment to the Greek authorities, who insisted that there had been five security checks on passengers boarding the jet in Athens.
Greece maintains security precautions at Athens have been stepped up since the hijack last June of a TWA airliner carrying mainly American passengers.
In Context
It later emerged that there were just three hijackers on board, two of whom died. Two crew members and 59 of the 90 passengers were killed.
Of the five people - two Americans and three Israelis - shot in cold blood while the aircraft was on the tarmac in Malta, three survived.
The surviving hijacker was named as Omar Rezaq, a Palestinian who boarded the plane under a false identity. He was linked to the extremist Abu Nidal group.
He was tried in Malta and sentenced to 25 years in jail, though he served only seven.
After his release, he went to Nigeria where the authorities handed him over to waiting FBI agents, who flew him to the United States to await trial.
In 1996 he was sentenced to life imprisonment for air piracy.
There was strong criticism of the way force was used to end the hijacking. The commandoes were accused of poor preparation and heavy-handedness.
Several of those passengers who died were killed not by the hijackers but by explosives set off by the Egyptian soldiers during the attack.

A three-run fifth inning and the fine pitching efforts of Adrian Brandenberger and Judah Zickafoose were enough to push Westview past Hamilton, 4-1 in NECC baseball action Tuesday evening in Emma.
Pinch-hitter Jordan Stoltzfus began the Warrior rally in the fifth by being hit by a pitch thrown by Ed Schiffli. He advanced to second on a sacrifice by Damon Miller, then came around to score on Brant Yoder's RBI single, giving Westview a 2-1 lead.
Yoder proceeded to steal second base and score on a misplayed fly ball to right field off the bat of Zickafoose. Jamar Weaver then brought in Zickafoose from third with a sacrifice fly to right.
Brandenberger, who allowed four hits, struckout five and walked four in six innings of work, gave way to Zickafoose in the seventh. The sohpomore retired each of the three Marines he faced, including two by strikeout, to nail down a save.
Yoder knocked in the first Westview run in the third inning with a double that scored Kohle Christner. Hamilton netted its lone run in the second inning when Ed Newcomer's sacrifice fly to center field plated Schiffli, who had singled to start the frame.
The victory improved Westview to 4-1 in the NECC and to 8-6 overall.

FYI, the W3C database servers are undergoing scheduled maintenance. I got confused about the time and thought it was at a time that would impact us less, but they're down now. If all goes well, it will just be 1/2 hour (9:30 to 10:00 Boston time). During this time, you will not be able to view Last Call issues or complete the surveys. Hopefully it will go up again on scheduled and you will still have time to complete surveys in time for today's call. I will send a follow-up message if it looks like things are going to be down significantly longer. MichaelReceived on Thursday, 19 October 2006 13:38:35 UTC

By Paul Garcia, Project Spurs
The last two days have been a roller coaster for the San Antonio Spurs (3-2) as they lost guard Manu Ginobili to a broken hand in their loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday, then the team made three roster changes on Tuesday.
The team sent rookie guard Cory Joseph to the Austin Toros, recalled guard Gary Neal from the Toros, and signed free agent forward Ike Diogu.
Just because Ginobili's out doesn't mean the season is over, the Spurs must press forward with the team they currently have in order to maintain a winning record in the Western Conference.
The Spurs will host the Golden State Warriors (2-3) led by the guard duo of Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry.
