Benjamin Capill -
Supreme Court Prizewinner 2012
Benjamin Capill was presented with the 2012 Supreme Court Prize for most outstanding graduating student in 2012 at the Academic Awards Evening at Geelong Waterfront campus on 9 May, 2013.
Read Benjamin's acceptance speech to learn more about his School of Law journey...
It is an honour to be here tonight to receive this award. My thanks to Deakin for hosting this ceremony, to the Supreme Court for its sponsorship and to Justice Croft for making time this evening to attend this ceremony.
Success is rarely, if ever, achieved alone, and certainly wasn't in my case. There are a number of people I would like to thank, but to put things in context I would like to first reflect briefly on my law school experience.
My journey through law school has been somewhat unconventional. In fact my break with convention began long before I ever thought of studying law, when my parents withdrew me from primary school to home educate me. For me, home education was a brilliant experience. I had the opportunity to study at my own pace and under personal tuition, and I was able to study efficiently, which left time for interests outside of school work. I'm very grateful to Mum and Dad for the years of hard work they put in and for doing such an excellent job.
Despite its benefits, home education through to year 12 made securing a place in university challenging. I was applying as a school leaver, but not having completed VCE, I didn't have that magic number - an ENTER score - which would facilitate an easy comparison of my ability with that of my peers. But as it turned out, my application to this university was successful and so I am very grateful to Deakin for taking a punt on a homeschooler and opening for me the door to tertiary education.
I would also like to thank Deakin for the flexibility of its law program. Part way through my course, I developed chronic fatigue, which had an immediate effect on my studies. A great drowsiness interfered with afternoon lectures; I spent my evenings asleep instead of studying; I struggled and usually failed to read all the cases before class - and in some units, I think I can now safety confess, at all.
During this period I greatly appreciated the flexibility that Deakin afforded me. Part time study was easily arranged, and the advent of the trimester system increased the number of summer units on offer, which allowed me to catch up during the summer break. Later I also took advantage of the opportunity to study off campus.
I would also like to thank my parents and my wife, Emily - who, incidentally, is a fellow Deakin law graduate who I first got to know as we worked together on a torts assignment - for their support and encouragement when I thought that I would never make it through my degrees. And finally I thank God that I did make it; without faith in a God who is in control of the vicissitudes of life, I don't think I would have been able to cope with the disappointments that chronic illness brings.
The life of a law student can be rather busy (though I'm told and am beginning to appreciate that legal practice makes study look easy). One positive aspect of fatigue was that it slowed me down and gave me time to consider the privileges of living in a wealthy country and of receiving a tertiary education. These things are easily overlooked in the law student's rush to study cases, prepare for exams and secure seasonal clerkships. I am conscious that with privilege comes responsibility, and I hope to somehow use my privileged position to benefit those who are less fortunate.
Benjamin Capill accepts the Supreme Court Prize
Studying law has been an enjoyable and rewarding experience. Highlights of my time at Deakin include:
- Philip Clarke's use of the Socratic method to teach Contract Law;
- Sharon Erbacher's enthusiasm, precise lecturing and willingness to help in her units Torts and Misleading Conduct and Economic Torts; and
- Michael McShane's unit entitled Legal Theory: Globalisation and the Rule of Law, which was a brilliant way to finish my degree.
My sincere thanks to all the excellent lecturers who made studying law a pleasant and interesting experience. I think the hours of lecture preparation, assignment marking, responding to questions on CloudDeakin, and deciphering exam handwriting are often under-appreciated. I am grateful for my lecturers' instruction and guidance, which have allowed me to begin to develop an understanding of the law and the ability to think clearly in applying it.
I've immensely enjoyed my legal education and I am grateful to Deakin and its staff for it, and also to my family for their support along the way.
Thank you again to Justice Croft and the Supreme Court, to the other award sponsors, to the Deakin Law School and to you all for attending tonight's ceremony.
Prof Mirko Bagaric, Dean and Head of School, School of Law, Benjamin Capill, Justice Clyde Croft, Supreme Court of Victoria, PVC (B&L) Prof Gael McDonald

Book Description:
Winner of the 2011 Otis Dudley Duncan Award for Outstanding Scholarship in Social DemographyAfrican Americans grappled with Jim Crow segregation until it was legally overturned in the 1960s. In subsequent decades, the country witnessed a new wave of immigration from Asia and Latin America--forever changing the face of American society and making it more racially diverse than ever before. In The Diversity Paradox, authors Jennifer Lee and Frank Bean take these two poles of American collective identity--the legacy of slavery and immigration--and ask if today s immigrants are destined to become racialized minorities akin to African Americans or if their incorporation into U.S. society will more closely resemble that of their European predecessors. They also tackle the vexing question of whether America s new racial diversity is helping to erode the tenacious black/white color line.The Diversity Paradox uses population-based analyses and in-depth interviews to examine patterns of intermarriage and multiracial identification among Asians, Latinos, and African Americans. Lee and Bean analyze where the color line--and the economic and social advantage it demarcates--is drawn today and on what side these new arrivals fall. They show that Asians and Latinos with mixed ancestry are not constrained by strict racial categories. Racial status often shifts according to situation. Individuals can choose to identify along ethnic lines or as white, and their decisions are rarely questioned by outsiders or institutions. These groups also intermarry at higher rates, which is viewed as part of the process of becoming American and a form of upward social mobility. African Americans, in contrast, intermarry at significantly lower rates than Asians and Latinos. Further, multiracial blacks often choose not to identify as such and are typically perceived as being black only--underscoring the stigma attached to being African American and the entrenchment of the one-drop rule. Asians and Latinos are successfully disengaging their national origins from the concept of race--like European immigrants before them--and these patterns are most evident in racially diverse parts of the country.For the first time in 2000, the U.S. Census enabled multiracial Americans to identify themselves as belonging to more than one race. Eight years later, multiracial Barack Obama was elected as the 44th President of the United States. For many, these events give credibility to the claim that the death knell has been sounded for institutionalized racial exclusion. The Diversity Paradox is an extensive and eloquent examination of how contemporary immigration and the country s new diversity are redefining the boundaries of race. The book also lays bare the powerful reality that as the old black/white color line fades a new one may well be emerging--with many African Americans still on the other side.JENNIFER LEE is professor of sociology at the University of California, Irvine. FRANK D. BEAN is Chancellor s Professor of Sociology and Economics and director of the Center for Research on Immigration, Population, and Public Policy at the University of California, Irvine.

AVADirect Adds ATI Radeon HD 7970 Graphics Cards
Twinsburg, OH - January 27th, 2012
AVADirect, a leading provider of custom computer solutions, now offers ATI Radeon HD 7970 Graphics Cards.
The ATI Radeon HD 7970 series was announced on December 22nd, 2011 as the new architecture for future graphics by AMD. Originally code-named "Tahiti", the new AMD GPU is known internally as the GCN (Graphics Core Next) gen GPU for future designs. The 7970 boasts all original features of its predecessor, but also includes a newly added function known as "Zerocore Power" which will reduce clocks of unused GPUs to conserve power and heat generation. The design of the 7970 is based off of a 3GB GDDR5, 384-bit memory bus that will deliver improved performance across the board, and has been documented to improve gaming between 12%-25% on average. AVADirect will continue to add ATI HD 7970 models, from various manufacturers, as they are released. Since December of last year, the ATI Radeon HD 7970's have been quite scarce, but according to AMD we will now begin to see more availability that is accessible to those interested.

Academic Genealogy of Chemistry Faculty
Guillaume F. Rouelle
The Faculty Genealogy shows the academic lineage, based primarily on Ph.D. adviser, of faculty members of the Department of Chemistry at The University of Texas at Austin. Most of the known faculty appointed since the department was founded in 1883 are represented. The site includes:
Academic lineage is open to interpretation. Before the 20th century, scientists often did not have formal academic advisers as they do today. Several mentors may have been influential in directing a particular chemist's early career and course of study. Some chemists, such as Lavoisier, were extremely influential, but never formally instructed students. In selecting the primary mentor, emphasis has been given to overall influence and to traditional lineage interpretations. Where useful we have included lines to multiple mentors and notes explaining their relationships.
The full wall chart showing all the lineages and their interconnections is displayed in the Chemistry Library. A zoom-able image version of the chart is viewable on this site. Individual faculty charts are listed to the right.

Arctic sea ice coverage continued its below-average trend this year as the ice declined to its annual minimum on Sept. 17, according to the NASA-supported National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) at the University of Colorado, Boulder.
(From Science Daily / NASA Goddard Space Flight Center)–Over the 2014 summer, Arctic sea ice melted back from its maximum extent reached in March to a coverage area of 1.94 million square miles (5.02 million square kilometers), according to analysis from NASA and NSIDC scientists.
Antarctic fishes that manufacture their own "antifreeze" proteins to survive in the icy Southern Ocean also suffer an unfortunate side effect, researchers report: The protein-bound ice crystals that accumulate inside their bodies resist melting even when temperatures warm.
The human-occupied sub Alvin was the "guest of honor" last week at House and Senate staff briefings and a reception at the U.S. Capitol, commemorating 50 years of service as our nation's deepest diving research submersible.
Over one thousand miles wide and three thousand miles long, the Sargasso Sea occupies almost two thirds of the North Atlantic Ocean.
Young mantis shrimp camouflage themselves by using reflectors that give off opalescent blue-green light to make their eyes invisible to anyone who's looking, according to a new study.
Clownfish spend their entire lives nestling in the protective tentacles of host anemones, but new research shows that as babies they sometimes travel hundreds of kilometres across the open ocean.
A team of researchers working on a Carnegie expedition in Australia's Great Barrier Reef has documented that coral growth rates have plummeted 40% since the mid-1970s.
A new study by Florida State University researchers demonstrates a different way of projecting a hurricane's strength and intensity that could give the public a better idea of a storm's potential for destruction.
Warming water temperatures due to climate change could expand the range of many native species of tropical fish, including the invasive and poisonous lionfish, according to a study of 40 species along rocky and artificial reefs off North Carolina by researchers from NOAA and the University of North Carolina-Wilmington.
Tiny marine algae can evolve fast enough to cope with climate change in a sign that some ocean life may be more resilient than thought to rising temperatures and acidification, a study showed.
Each summer, leatherback sea turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) migrate thousands of kilometers from their tropical breeding grounds to feed in cooler waters.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - Tucson police say officers fatally shot a
suspected bank robber as he headed back toward the bank after getting a
box of ammunition from his vehicle.
According to police, officers alerted by an
employee's 911 call about a robbery in progress Thursday afternoon
arrived to see a man matching the suspect's description walking out of
the bank with a handgun.
Police say he ignored commands to stop and drop the
gun and instead went to his SUV, got a box of ammunition and began
walking back to the bank's front door.
Police say officers shot the man because of the danger to people inside the bank.
The identity of the 35-year-old man hasn't been released.
No officers were injured.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel on Friday approved the construction of 3,000 homes in Jewish settlements on Israeli-occupied lands, a government official said, drawing swift condemnation from the Palestinians a day after their successful U.N. recognition bid.
The Palestinians reiterated their refusal to resume negotiations with Israel while building continues. With Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu apparently poised for re-election to another four-year term and insisting that any negotiations begin without preconditions, prospects for an Israeli-Palestinian partition deal appear to be going into deep freeze.

The Deal Reports Findings from Annual Life Settlement Survey
NEW YORK, June 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The Deal, TheStreet's (NASDAQ: TST) institutional business, today issued results from its annual survey of the life settlement market showing that transactions stopped their precipitous decline last year as the face value of life insurance policies sold reached $2.57 billion, an increase from $2.13 billion the year before. The survey, compiled from information obtained through public records requests to state insurance departments, includes data from 36 life settlement providers, including seven that reported no transactions at all.
"This is the first time in several years in which the number of life settlement transactions has gone up. This can only mean the market is starting to bounce back after years of being in the doldrums following the recession," said Donna Horowitz, Senior Editor for The Deal. "One of the main challenges that lies ahead for the market to continue to grow is consumer awareness. Most people still do not know that they have the right to sell their policies. Unlike the reverse mortgage market, the life settlement market remains largely unknown to the public."
Highlights from the report include:

What are the limitations that keep new educational designs from being implemented tomorrow in schools and especially in higher education?
School is my awful job and learning is my amazing hobby; This has been my take on life ever since and contrary to what I thought would happen, it hasn't changed in the last few months of college, when I have actually found that undergraduate studies aren't much different from its earlier analogous structures in what concerns quality of learning.
I figured something would change in college, it had to. No institution of higher education would, like it had always been done before, only try to standardize me through disengaging processes of memorization and mechanization in class, and then test me for it, but they did so, and so I keep dragging my feet through the halls like I always did, uninspired by it all.
Well, here I am watching 10 TED talks and having more fun than I had in any of my classes so far, where I am basically taught simple things as if they were complicated instead of the opposite.
I think the education systems we have are all about making us easily browsable encyclopedias of knowledge and funny looking calculators without ever compelling us to make our own connections between concepts and subjects, understanding them at their core or questioning the underlying mechanisms that drive the phenomena we study, but why? Why does this happen when we have computers that are infinitely better at storing data then our brain and when we know that in order to come up with creative solutions to real life problems we have to do so much more than just recall previous knowledge; also, there is an important link between the education of today and the leader of tomorrow, and if we continue using the educational techniques of yesterday then we will keep having the same uninspired (to say the least) leaders of today. Now my question is: Do you think this is a problem? Exactly what is causing this? Is it a economic or a sociological issue? Does the academic world want to solve this? Does the corporate world? Do the governments? Do you think it can be solved? How?

Nov 18 2012: Current Education System is not a good education system. It is text book based learning system , which is an abstract way of learning and more over it focuses on too much information and also too fast . Which ultimately leads to cramming and learning by rote.
But,The actual learning process is spontaneous and slow..
When I was in class 3 I cam across a word called "Panic" and its meaning was given at the end of the chapter. After reading the meaning I still did not understood the word, Because it has no direct association with the visual image of how a person looks like when he panics, what emotions are visible on the face of the person. All these were missing.
The text book based learning has the drawback , you never know what actually the word means and how it is associated with real things. In text book based learning when you find any word , you often try to find the meaning in the dictionary which ultimately leads to another abstract word. Its like a loop one abstract word point to another abstract word.

More than a dozen candidates were running in Tuesday's primary for Detroit mayor, an office with little immediate power because most operations are being run by an emergency manager seeking to take the city into bankruptcy.
None of the candidates has name recognition outside the city like current Mayor Dave Bing, a former NBA great who opted not seek another four-year term.
The leading candidates to replace him are a former police chief, a perennial mayoral candidate, a fired city attorney and a one-time medical center chief who has launched a write-in campaign. Another write-in candidate is a barber with a similar name, raising the potential that some voters could be confused.
Uncertainty and failure have been standard operating procedure for years in once-mighty Detroit. Last month, it became the largest city in the U.S. to declare bankruptcy under the weight of massive debt brought on by crushing population decline and a history of political corruption and mismanagement.
Some of the favorites for mayor have come out against the bankruptcy filing and contend the man who made the filing — state-appointed turnaround expert Kevyn Orr — is holding the job illegally.
The top two vote-getters in Tuesday's nonpartisan primary will face off in the November general election. That winner moves into City Hall with a title, $158,000 salary and — as things stand now — little else.
Sheila Cockrel, a former Detroit councilwoman and founder of a government relations and advocacy firm, said the bankruptcy proceedings are sure to hover over the next mayor's first term.
"There's no roadmap of where or how this would go," she said.
Only about 15 percent to 17 percent of Detroit's registered voters are expected to cast ballots Tuesday, according to city elections officials.
Seeking to bring stability and turn the city around, GOP Gov. Rick Snyder appointed Orr, a national bankruptcy attorney, in March under a Michigan law that gives emergency managers nearly unlimited power.
On July 18, Orr made the Chapter 9 bankruptcy filing in federal court. He said Detroit is insolvent, unable to pay off debt that his restructuring team says could reach $20 billion. He has stopped paying on $2.5 billion in bonds, using that money to pump up struggling and underfunded city services. He also asked city creditors and Detroit's two pension funds to accept pennies on the dollar in money owed them.
One candidate, Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napoleon, contends Orr was illegally appointed as emergency manager.
"My pitch to him is, 'You're here to straighten out the finances. You have no municipal government experience,'" said Napoleon, the city police chief for three years beginning in 1998. "The emergency manager puts the budget together. The mayor should be able to set the priorities."
Orr, a turnaround specialist who is receiving $275,000 annually for his 18-month assignment, also is getting little love from other candidates.
Tom Barrow, an accountant who lost mayoral runs in 1985, 1989 and 2009, also believes a bankruptcy judge's directives are to be carried out by the city and its elected officials once Orr approves the budget.
"In light of the bankruptcy filing, I don't believe he retains his power under state law," Barrow said of Orr. "Bankruptcy laws kick in. Those laws are explicit that the debtor is the municipality and its elected officials."
Napoleon and Barrow were expected to face a stiff challenge for a spot on the November ballot from former Detroit Medical Center Chief Executive Mike Duggan. But Duggan is running a write-in campaign because a residency issue kicked him off the ballot.
Although Duggan would appear poised to become Detroit's first write-in mayor, part of his challenge will be making sure voters spell his name correctly. That's because another candidate, barber Mike Dugeon, is seeking the job as well. He has never run for elected office and said he filed after being approached by a local television reporter over his name similarity with Duggan.
That could make tabulating the write-ins onerous and time-consuming. Following the primary, county canvassers will go over the spellings on each write-in ballot cast to determine who gets the votes.
"We're going to be fine," Duggan told The Associated Press. "I don't think voters in this city will have any trouble spelling my name correctly. Every place I go people are spelling D-U-G-G-A-N."
Unlike Napoleon and Barrow, Duggan doesn't expect a bankruptcy to turn Detroit back over to the mayor and council.
"My preference would be for the governor to dissolve the emergency manager and let the mayor represent the city in bankruptcy court," he said.
If elected, Duggan said he won't wait until taking office in January to work with Orr.
"I intend to be engaged from the day after the election to push for a plan that leads to a vibrant recovery for the city," he said. "I'll try to convince the emergency manager to adopt my version and, if not, convince the bankruptcy judge to adopt it."
That's the course all candidates should push across to voters, Cockrel said.
"What we should be hearing from candidates is their understanding of the financial crisis, their approaches to facilitating the process of getting through bankruptcy and what their plans and strategies should be," she said.

Terrance Wise has two jobs in Kansas City — one at a burger joint, a second at a pizza restaurant — but he says his paychecks aren't enough to buy shoes for his three daughters and insure his 15-year-old car. So he decided to draw attention to his plight: He walked off work in protest.
Wise was among a few thousand fast-food workers in seven cities, including New York, Chicago and Detroit, who took to the streets last week, carrying "Strike" and "Supersize Our Wages" signs in front of McDonalds, Wendy's, Burger King and other restaurants. They demanded better pay, the right to unionize and a more than doubling of the federal minimum hourly wage from $7.25 to $15.
"We work hard for companies that are making millions," the 34-year-old Wise says, adding that he lost his home last year, unable to make mortgage payments despite working about 50-hour weeks at Pizza Hut and Burger King. "We're not asking for the world. We want to make enough to make a decent living. We deserve better. If they respect us and pay us and treat us right, it'll lift up the whole economy."
These one-day protests, which also took place in St. Louis, Milwaukee and Flint, Mich., come amid calls from the White House, some members of Congress and economists to raise the federal minimum wage, which was last increased in 2009. Most of the proposals, though, seek a more modest rise than those urged by fast-food workers. President Barack Obama wants to boost the hourly wage to $9. And in July, more than 100 economists signed a petition supporting a bill sponsored by a Florida congressman that would hike it to $10.50 an hour.
The restaurant industry argues that a $15 hourly wage could lead to businesses closing and fewer jobs. It also notes the cost of living varies greatly around the country and many states have higher minimum wages than the federal rate. (Eighteen states and the District of Columbia, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.)
The Employment Policies Institute, which receives some funding from the industry, ran a full-page ad last week in USA Today, warning of another potential consequence: It showed the uniform of a fast-food worker with an iPad face, saying the wage increase could result in employees being replaced with automation, such as touch-screen ordering.
So at a time when the economy is growing steadily but slowly and about 11.5 million people are unemployed — nearly double the level before the Great Recession — how likely is it Congress will increase the minimum wage? And have these protests done any good?
The answers depend on whom you ask.
"They're very effective," says U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison, a Minnesota Democrat and co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. "They've brought attention to appalling conditions with workers putting in very long hours ... and not making enough money to survive. This I think is scandal. .. We believe it's essential to be paid livable wages. We know the companies can afford it. These are highly profitable businesses. It would be good not just for the family budget but for the national budget."
Ellison's caucus launched a national "Raise Up America" campaign this summer that has partnered with fast-food workers and others in low-wage industries to highlight the call for better salaries. The congressman says he's not deterred by likely resistance in the GOP-dominated House.
"Remember, things that don't look possible become possible if people advocate for them," he says, adding that in 1955 someone was probably saying "they're never going to end segregation. ... Sometimes these things catch on. I think the thing to do is keep on pushing, keep on talking. ... That's how we win."
But others are more skeptical and think if there is a winner, it's unions. The Service Employees International Union is providing financial support and staff to help train organizers for this campaign.
These protests show unions "still can appeal to and speak for workers who are on the fringes of the workforce — the less skilled, the part-timers and the immigrant workers," Gary Chaison, professor of industrial relations at Clark University in Massachusetts, wrote in an email.
These still are hard times, people are happy to be employed and the political climate in the House is not conducive for an increase, he adds. "The demonstrations are street theater and the rehabilitation of the image of American unions, but it's not going to drive new minimum wage policy," he wrote.
Scott DeFife, executive vice president of the National Restaurant Association, calls the protests a campaign "to disparage the industry," which he says operates on a tight profit margin. Doubling wages, he says, "would definitely have an impact on the creation of new jobs." He says it would be especially harmful for young people, for whom the jobless rate in some communities is already in the double digits.
Some fast food companies responded to the protests by saying they respect the rights of their workers.
And some who walked out used the media spotlight to talk openly about their financial struggles.
Kareem Sparks, a 30-year-old father of two boys, 6 and 12, was laid off in 2011 from a $17.50-an-hour city job in New York. His unemployment benefits ran out and he turned to food pantries. Five months ago, he found work at McDonald's.
"I'm grateful they gave me an opportunity to feed my family and put food on the table, but it's not enough," he says. Sparks supplements his income with a second job as a security guard, earning about $8 an hour. Together, he says, he brings home about $1,000-$1,100 every two weeks and needs food stamps to survive.
"It's horrible to know when I pick up my (McDonalds) check, it's going to be less than $200," he says. "You spend all your money in one store and go to sleep broke. It's not fair. ... Some people get their checks and don't come back to work."
The average hourly salary for fast-food workers was $9.00 in May 2012, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The average age for these workers is 29 years old; for women, it's 32, according to the bureau. The restaurant association says its own analysis of Census data found that slightly more than 25 percent of fast-food workers are heads of households.
Both sides in the fight over the minimum wage cite numerous studies to buttress their arguments about whether a raise would be harmful.
The petition signed by the economists says that for decades, research has "found that no significant effects on employment opportunities result when the minimum wage rises in reasonable increments." The economists also note that minimum-wage workers employed full time for the entire year earn $15,080, almost 20 percent below the poverty level for a family of three.
But Michael Saltsman, research director at the Employment Policies Institute, cites another study that he says found raising the minimum wage was counterproductive — with more people losing than gaining because hours were reduced and jobs were cut.
Tessie Harrell, one of the workers in the middle of this academic debate, walked off her job in protest last week.
As a Burger King manager in Milwaukee, Harrell, 34, has to stretch her $8.25 hourly salary to support five children (a sixth lives on her own). They live in a two-bedroom apartment. Her mother helped out financially and with child care, but she has since moved to a nursing home.
"It's not like we're teens working for a pair of shoes or a cell phone," Harrell says. "We're grown adults who can't find better jobs."
She would like to see something come from the protests, a wage improvement, even if it's not $15 an hour.
"I hope it works," she says. "We're just trying to survive and build a life for our children."

CAIRO (AP) — Egypt's military-backed interim leadership proclaimed Wednesday that a crackdown against two protest sites is inevitable, saying that nearly two weeks of foreign diplomatic efforts to peacefully resolve its standoff with the Muslim Brotherhood have failed.
The government's statements strongly suggested that Egypt's sharp polarization may spiral into even more bloodshed as thousands of supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi, a longtime Brotherhood figure, camp out at two main Cairo intersections and hold daily protests outside security buildings.
At stake is stability in the Arab world's most populous country. Already more than 250 people have been killed in violence since the military ousted Morsi last month, including at least 130 Brotherhood supporters in two major clashes between security forces and backers of the deposed president.
"The decision agreed on by all to clear the sit-ins is final and irreversible," Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi said on state television, reading a statement issued by the Egyptian Cabinet.
In response, top Muslim Brotherhood figure Mohammed el-Beltagy said the protesters are determined to keep up the sit-ins.
"What we care about is for there to be clear talks about our position against the military coup and the importance of returning legitimacy," el-Beltagy told The Associated Press at the main protest site in the capital's Nasr City neighborhood. He said the Cabinet's statement makes "clear that they lack vision with regard to the political scene."
A joint statement released late Wednesday by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton called for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
"We remain concerned and troubled that government and opposition leaders have not yet found a way to break a dangerous stalemate and agree to implement tangible confidence building measures," the statement said.
"The Egyptian government bears a special responsibility to begin this process to ensure the safety and welfare of its citizens," it said. "Now is not the time to assess blame, but to take steps that can help initiate a dialogue and move the transition forward."
It is unclear what the government's crackdown on the sit-ins would entail or when it would begin, but it appeared unlikely to start until next week. The Cabinet statement said the government was keen not to take action during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which ends Wednesday to be followed by four days of Eid celebrations.
For his part, the prime minister said the government seeks stability and rule of law in the face of "hard circumstances". He said Egypt must start a new chapter, "without settling scores, without bias against any side."
A flurry of diplomatic visits by envoys from the United States, the European Union and Arab Gulf states ended in deadlock. By Wednesday, all had departed Cairo with no guarantees of compromise from the government or the Brotherhood.
Some of the visits by foreign diplomats were made at the request of those in power, such as Vice President Mohamed ElBaradei, who wanted to find peaceful ways to resolve the dispute. But emotions in Egypt are high, and many have pushed for a strong hand in quashing the protests.
Widespread anger with the Brotherhood and Morsi is what sparked millions to take to the streets and demand his ouster just days before the military forced him out of power July 3. Later on, hundreds of thousands rallied to answer a call by the country's army chief to give him a mandate to stop "potential terrorism" by Morsi supporters.
The Brotherhood is demanding Morsi's reinstatement as Egypt's first freely elected president, and many of the pro-Morsi protesters say that the sit-ins are their last bargaining chip to press for the release of detained leaders and for guarantees that they will have a significant role in politics.
The prime minister said the Cabinet "had hoped to solve this crisis during this period without the intervention of security forces," but that the sit-ins have not been peaceful and that the protesters have frightened citizens, blocked roads, attacked government buildings and threatened security.
Sixteen prominent Egyptian rights groups said Wednesday in a joint statement that they strongly condemn "rhetoric employed by leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood and their allies, which includes clear incitement to violence and religious hatred in order to achieve political gains." The groups, which include the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights, said sectarian rhetoric has been used against Christians and that police have been negligent in protecting these citizens.
"The government's patience is running out," the prime minister said. "Therefore, the Cabinet warns against breaking the limits of peace and that the use of weapons in the face of policemen or citizens will be met with utmost firmness and strength."
Still, it remained uncertain whether authorities would resort to a level of force that could leave scores more dead, including women and children, and invite world condemnation.
In the past week, authorities have outlined plans to break up the sit-ins using more restrained measures, such as putting up cordons to block people who leave from returning.
The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) has condemned the deliberate use of children in Egypt who are "put at risk as potential witnesses to or victims of violence." The Brotherhood says it cannot control whether families choose to stay camped out.
A statement from interim President Adly Mansour's office said foreign diplomatic efforts to ease tensions did not succeed, despite the full support of the Egyptian government.
"The state of Egypt appreciates the efforts of friendly nations and understands the reasons why they did not achieve their desired objectives, and holds the Muslim Brotherhood fully responsible for the failure of these efforts."
Remarks by U.S. Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham to reporters in Cairo demanding the release of top Islamist leaders appeared to inflame an already volatile situation. After meeting Egyptian officials and Brotherhood leaders on Tuesday, the two warned that Egypt would be making a "huge mistake" if it did not release what they described as "political prisoners." They also called Morsi's ouster a coup.
The McCain-Graham visit was carried out at U.S. President Barack Obama's request, but the administration has avoided calling Morsi's ouster a coup because it would trigger a suspension of an annual $1.3 billion U.S. military aid package to Egypt. The aid package has been a cornerstone of American foreign policy in the Middle East since Cairo signed a peace treaty with Israel.
Mansour, a Supreme Constitutional Court judge who was installed as Egypt's interim president by the military, rejected the senators' message, calling it "unacceptable interference in internal politics."
Jen Psaki, the U.S. State Department spokeswoman, distanced the administration from the two Republican senators' remarks, emphasizing that it was Deputy Secretary of State William Burns who was representing the U.S. government in Egypt.
"While we certainly welcome different points of views ... our agenda and goals were conveyed through Deputy Secretary Burns," Psaki said.
Egyptian prosecutors widened the scope of some cases against Brotherhood figures on Wednesday, announcing that former lawmaker el-Beltagy and three others will now face criminal charges for the kidnapping of a policeman by pro-Morsi protesters during a march. Police say their colleague was taken to the main sit-in in Nasr City and beaten before being released last week.
El-Beltagy is wanted by police and was already facing charges of inciting violence. The sit-ins have given him and other top wanted figures cover from authorities who are unable to reach them amid the thousands of protesters. The protest camps are guarded by men wielding sticks and rocks who check the identification cards of visitors.
Morsi has been held at secret locations since his ouster, though Egyptian authorities have allowed the EU's Ashton and a group of African statesmen to visit him. He faces accusations of conspiring with the militant Palestinian Hamas group during his escape from prison under Hosni Mubarak in 2011.
The new Egyptian leadership also pushed ahead Wednesday with a roadmap for transition, outlining the parameters of the committee that would review changes to the 2012 constitution drafted by a majority Islamist panel under Morsi. The new 50-member panel includes quotas, such as three Christians, at least four people under the age of 40, two Islamist party figures, members of the arts community and union members.
The political turmoil has been exploited by militants in the northern part of the Sinai Peninsula, who have carried out daily attacks on the police and military, killing more than 20 security officials and 12 civilians.
On Wednesday, Egypt's military spokesman said 60 Islamic militants have been killed and 103 arrested in the peninsula as part of the army's operations there over the past month. It was not possible to independently verify the figures.

Although Tunisia, Egypt and other troubled hotspots in the region have been shaken by popular uprisings, Morocco has been able to avoid turmoil by expanding the rights of its citizens and giving them more say in their future, Jesse Jackson said in a speech here Tuesday.
In the speech, the longtime civil rights leader praised this northern African country slightly larger than California that borders the North Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, between Algeria and Western Sahara.
"This region has seen the Arab Spring uprisings all around: Tunisia, Egypt, wars in Libya, and Syria. Many acted with unpreparedness and without defined instructions and a foundation to build a unified, democratic future," Jackson said in a speech at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation in this capital city.
"Morocco has responded with wisdom and achieved excellent results: it met the Arab Spring uprising by expanding democracy – a new Constitution, a renewed commitment to human rights, a commitment to economic growth and social unification," Jackson said. "That's why Morocco today is stable, your democracy is maturing, and you are building institutions to govern your future political, economic and social life."
Jackson said Morocco, a country of 32.6 million, of whom 99 percent are Muslim, is a "great untold story."
He explained, "The media often focuses on what's wrong in the world and threatening conflicts in this region, sometimes deservedly so. Egypt's uprising and second uprising, wars in Libya, Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. The media covers violence and bloodshed and war every day. But I submit that peaceful, non-violent resolution of conflicts, sustained economic growth – these are the waves of the future that also deserve media coverage."
Morocco enjoys strong ties to the United States, becoming the first nation to recognize U.S. independence in 1777.
The country describes itself as a constitutional, democratic, parliamentary and a social monarchy. According to news accounts, in response to Arab Spring unrest throughout the region in early 2011, King Mohammed VI introduced a series of changes that included constitutional reforms and early elections.
At various stops during his 5-day visit to Morocco, Jackson described the king as "a young, global-minded and wise leader."
Despite the establishment of the National Council on Human Rights by King Mohammed VI, more than a dozen human rights activists complained of continued human rights violations in a private meeting Monday with Jesse Jackson.
They alleged the use of police violence to quell peaceful demonstrations, official corruption, lack of transparency, prison abuse, delays in fully implementing the new constitution and failure to assure freedom of expression.
An even larger issue facing Morocco is the longstanding dispute over Western Sahara, with the country claiming about two-thirds of the area as its Southern Provinces and the Algerian-backed Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, which is pushing for an independent state, at war with Morocco over the territory after it was vacated by Spanish colonists and Mauritanian occupiers.
The United Nations brokered a ceasefire in 1991 with the expectation that a referendum would be held to help settle the matter. But the referendum never materialized and the UN is still struggling to negotiate a settlement.
The dispute began more than four decades ago, yet Jesse Jackson remains optimistic.
"When differences and conflicts arise, reasonable people can work it out peacefully, and not fight it out with violence," Jackson said in his speech. "If Blacks and Whites in South Africa could work it out; if East and West Germany could work it could, then surely Morocco and Algeria can work it out."
Using examples from the period of slavery through the death of Trayvon Martin, the 17-year-old, unarmed Black youth killed by George Zimmerman in Sanford, Fla., Jackson talked about the U.S. still struggling to perfect its democracy.
"From those places, today the son of a Kenyan father is now the U.S. president, the single most powerful man in the world, accompanied by 42 African-American members of the U.S. Congress, a member of the U.S. Senate and Supreme Court, and thousands of mayors, state legislators and local elected officials," Jackson said.
He urged Moroccans not to underestimate the power of one individual to bring about sweeping change, citing the cases of the young Chinese student who risked his life at Tiananmen Square by bravely standing in front of a column of military tanks, Rosa Parks' decision to challenge segregated seating on a Montgomery, Ala., bus, Dr. Martin Luther King's lifelong struggle for equality and the self-martyred man in Tunisia who ignited the Arab Spring.
"The value of democracy is appealing and healing – often poetic," Jackson stated. "It raises a high chin bar for human relationships – between the governor and the governed, and between each other. Its strength lies in its resiliency – it bends but does not break.
"[It's] the yardstick that challenges traditions of tribe and race, and gender and religion. In a real democracy, everybody is somebody. All are included and none are excluded. A minority of one matters in a democracy."

Hyper-Connective Technology, Feedback and Entropy.
I've always said that the best technology is that which connects us. The history of the greatest technological innovations that have caused, and been caused by, the information age read like a biological evolutionary tree connecting us ever more closely over time:
- The Printing Press (1440)
- The Telegraph (1792)
- The Telephone (1876)
- The Radio (1895)
- Fax Data Transmission (1924)
- Internet & Email (1974)
- Instant Messaging (1980)
- Blogging (1997)
- Social Networks (Late 90's)
- Mobile Devices (2000+)
Each one of these technologies builds on the one before it, and every single one has two things in common:
1. They are, or have been, widely adopted by a large % of the human population.
2. They all connect people.
Comparing them, it becomes clear that each "evolution" of the technology simply performs the same task as the last, but better. Either via speed, scope or quality the proceeding technology exceeds the limitations of the ones before it by taking advantage of the previous technology's advancement.
Speculating on the future of our connective technology, and which technology will supersede (or build on) those we use now, one can imagine the proliferation of mobile devices and internet as a major factor in future technologies. Moreover, the rate at which we connect, and remain connected increased, and the depth and "quality" of this connection through media also increases. As bandwidth grows, video and augmented reality will become standard communication faculties, but another cultural phenomena is also at work. The Internet and Social networking has broadened the scope of our connective technology from mere one-to-one connections, to one-to-many and many-to-many. (1:1, 1:m, m:m) the impact of which is only just being realised as a cultural shift affecting our media, politics and interpersonal relationships.
As this occurs, I can't help wondering whether such technology has an upper bounds, a ceiling, to which the advancement overtakes the social benefit. It might be hard to comprehend a world now without The Internet, Blogs and Mobile technology with the immense social and knowledge capital it has delivered, but it may be less difficult to imagine the detrimental impact of a hyper-connected world.
The disadvantages of such technology may be observed through the proliferation of violence, hate and misinformation that our connective technologies can disseminate just as quickly as efficiently as any other data across the network, but to suggest such negative-data is the basis for our hypothetical ceiling is naive, and wrong. All the technologies listed above have been used for violence, hate and misinformation and none of these things represent an upper-boundary for a technologies utility.
Such a boundary, if any, would develop via the "feedback" loop that is created by our hyper-connection. An example of this would be the way in which the internet's content is indexed. Google's search algorithm is designed to find, and share, information that is relevant and where possible - accurate. The algorithm was written to reverse-engineer us and our data. How we search and what we are looking for, and how we share. Google's algorithm applies this methodology to our data and tries to give us what we want. It does this very well, and has been very successful for it.
Now that google is dominant however, a feedback loop exists. Content creators create content for google's algorithm specifically, and a lot of data, comes from Google itself, and Wikipedia, a well ranked knowledge base. So data goes in, and out, and back in again. Like a photocopy of a photocopy, this is entropic by nature and eventually leads to chaos without external forces to balance this.
Our social data, and our new information is the balancing force. Fresh, relevant content - from our friends, our colleagues and our leaders, all provide inputs into the information ecosystem.
An interesting thing happened to me recently to illustrate the hyper-connected feedback loop. I connected my YouTube, to my Facebook and a handful of other participating, connectable websites. When I interacted with YouTube, this activity was shared to Facebook, and to my Twitter. Through some duplication glitch, my activity was echo'ed repeatedly and randomly over time. Friends would complain about this, which added to the meta-entropy data which continued to cycle through my networks ad infinitum until I took corrective action.
This small example perhaps highlights the beginning of the entropic overlap through hyper-connectivity. Users of Google Buzz are noticing this feedback too, with activity being shared, cross-linked, commented and duplicated over various networks causing some confusion, and some loss of control which manifests as a privacy issue.
Privacy, is the inevitable casually of the hyper-connected world, and the valid reason why many intelligent, rational members of society choose not to participate. As humans, we posses the innate capacity and desire for the shared human experience. As social animals is is natural for us to connect, strongly and emphatically. The limits of this capacity are only now being explored and is it this that will be the foundation of any upper-boundary.
I am reminded in this present state of technology by Douglas Adam's fictional race from Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, who gained the ability to read other's minds when they weren't talking out loud, and being suitably personally confronted by this, eventually spoke out loud constantly thereafter, becoming one of the most chatty species in the Galaxy.
I am optimistic however, that we will recognise the potential for feedback and entropy that our hyper-connected world creates, and that our future technology will address and transcend these limitations, perhaps becoming the foundation of the next "age" once information itself reaches it's cultural and technology apex.

Samson Airline Micro Camera/Lavalier Wireless SystemThe AirLine Micro Wireless Camera System utilizes the latest in lithium-ion battery technology and high-quality audio and RF components, representing a breakthrough that is ideal for all video camera applications requiring outstanding audio, including DSLR video.To eliminate continually changing batteries, Samson has designed this wireless system to be fully rechargeable with lithium-ion batteries for both the AL2 transmitter and AR2 receiver. The AR2DT double-docking station provides power to both units via a USB DC input, as well as a 3.5mm balanced audio output for the receiver. With AirLine Micro, the days of replacing batteries in your wireless camera system are over.AirLine Micro employs the AL2 beltpack transmitter for complete freedom and mobility. The transmitter features an excellent sounding LM10 omnidirectional lavalier mic. In addition, the unit features single button operation for power, mute and volume, all of which can be easily monitored via a multi-color LED.Video capable DSLR cameras continue to grow in popularity between professional and amateur filmmakers. While the video content produced by these cameras is of exceptional HD quality, their sound recording capabilities have not been as flexible. Filmmakers can seamlessly attach AirLine Micro's AR2 receiver to the top of their DSLR cameras via the included hot shoe mount. The AL2 transmitter is just as easy to adhere to any film subject with its built-in belt clip.The AR2 receiver boasts meticulous engineering that provides professional sound reproduction for your videos. Like the AL2 transmitter, the AR2 houses a rechargeable battery that will offer up to 8 hours of operation.

As such, the AR2 can also be inserted into the included hot shoe mount and attached to your camera for additional versatility.In addition to DSLR, AirLine Micro can also elevate the versatility and convenience of most camcorders on the market. In many cases, smaller camcorders are designed with their microphones mounted in some of the most awkward locations for capturing audio. Depending on the camera, these units also feature "wind reduction" functions that often muffle the level of audio straight across the board. But with AirLine Micro and its wireless lavalier mic, camcorder videos can be filmed with pro-level audio.The AirLine Micro Wireless Camera System packs an incredible amount of technology and innovation into small, easy-to-use components. When pro-level audio is a must in your camera application, Samson's AirLine Micro Camera System offers the most discreet and convenient wireless camera solution available.

'Chai wala' Modi sips tea, promises to bring black money back if he becomes PM
Milking 'chai wala' barb against him for all its worth, Narendra Modi sipped tea at ease as he interacted with the common man across 1000 places through video, attacking Congress over governance and black money, which he promised to bring back after becoming prime minister.
The BJP's prime ministerial nominee, who has made senior Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar's jibe at his humble origin, when he sold tea with his father, a political weapon to hit out at Congress while connecting with the masses, likened bad governance to diabetes which drains a nation of its vitality.
Dubbing black money as a "national worry", Modi said he was committed to bringing it back from tax havens abroad, "which no other government can do" and distribute a portion of it among the salaried people who honestly paid their taxes.
"No matter how strong the body is, once it's afflicted by diabetes, it begins to host multiple diseases. Bad governance is like diabetes. Corruption sets in, there is no development and people are condemned to suffer," he said in an interface with common people as part of his "Chai Pe Charcha" programme.
Taking time off his high-pitched rallies, Modi castigated Congress at leisure over governance, saying "When a country of a hundred and twentyfive crore people loses faith in its elected government, how can the nation run? Mahatma Gandhi gave us Swaraj (self rule) but we could not bring Suraj (good governance)."
Responding to a question, the BJP leader dubbed accumulation of black money as an "anti-national" activity and vowed to bring it back from tax havens abroad even if it required amending existing laws and enacting new ones.
"The whole country is worried over black money. Black money is anti-national activity. We will set up a task force which will give it recommendations about how to bring it back. If required, law will be amended and new ones enacted. I am committed to do this because this money belongs to the poor people of India," he said.

About Regnery Publishing
Welcome to Regnery Publishing, the country's leading publisher of conservative books. Since Henry Regnery founded the company back in 1947, we've focused on publishing books that challenge the status quo, books that spark a debate, and books that get people talking about the issues and questions we face as a country founded on principles of individual liberty, personal responsibility and free market capitalism.
From the very start, Regnery has been a major force within the conservative movement. In our early years, Regnery helped establish and sustain the postwar conservative intellectual movement in America, publishing such authors as Russell Kirk (The Conservative Mind), William F. Buckley Jr. (God and Man at Yale), Whittaker Chambers (Witness), and many other giants of modern American conservatism. After lighting a political firestorm in academia with Buckley's God and Man at Yale in 1951, Henry started his own line of quality paperback classics called Regnery Gateway. The Gateway series ultimately grew to more than 200 titles, and included authors ranging from St. Augustine to Karl Marx, from Ambrose Bierce to the Japanese novelist Natsume Soseki, from Boethius to Carl von Clausewitz.
In 1993, Regnery Publishing became part of Eagle Publishing. Then, in 2014, Eagle Publishing became Salem Eagle under the umbrella of the media giant Salem Communications.
For the past decade, Regnery has led the resurgence of conservative publishing in America. Our list of authors reads like a "who's who" of conservative thought and action, including Ann Coulter, David Limbaugh, Michelle Malkin, Dinesh D'Souza, Newt Gingrich, Mark Steyn, Mark Levin, Ed Klein, David Horowitz, Laura Ingraham, Donald Trump, and many more. For the past 15 years, Regnery has boasted one of the best batting averages in the business–placing more than fifty books on the New York Times bestseller list, including nine books at #1.
In the past two years, we have branched out to welcome a broader audience. In addition to great conservative books, we also publish fascinating stories of America's pastime with Regnery History. This new imprint brings new light to old subjects and introduces figures and topics that deserve attention, but may have been ignored in the past. Another exciting new expansion for Regnery has been our children's imprint, Regnery Kids. With charming stories and beautiful illustrations, Regnery is teaching children about our history, our government, and our military, from Ronald Reagan to NORAD, from pilgrims to presidential pets. Our children's publishing program includes Little Patriot Press, a series of educational books for young readers about American government.
Since Regnery opened its doors back in 1947, the conservative movement has grown from a few intellectuals, economists, editorial writers, and authors to become the most vibrant political and intellectual movement in the country. Regnery Publishing has grown with the movement and is as central to the conservative movement today as it was more than 65 years ago.
The Story of the Regnery Gates
Regnery Publishing's logo is the Porta Nigra, a Roman gate located in Trier, Germany. Wilhelm Regnery, a winemaker from near Trier, immigrated to the United States in the 1870s. When his grandson, Henry, founded a publishing company, he chose the massive Roman gate as the new company's trademark–to represent his heritage, the passage from the uncivilized world of ignorance into civilization, and our legacy of Judeo-Christian faith and learning.
